Woohoo! Our farm is offically making some money!

Thanks to our plentiful cucumber harvest we are now $25 richer! We found someone to buy 25 of our cucumbers for $1 each. Woohoo! There are those naysayers that says that farmers don't make any money. Well, I have proof that farmers CAN make money.

In addition to making money, we are feeding others with healthy cucumbers. We used organic practices and feel good about our produce. They were grown with soil enriched with compost, organic seeds, water, and sunshine. They were NOT grown with pesticides, genetically modified seed, or treated with chemical fertilizers. We did not deplete the nutrients in the soil with man-made chemicals and toxins. We used the soil to grow nutritious produce and will continue to feed the soil with our organic compost that we make from the plant waste at the farm.
Now, if we can sell the other 100+ cucumbers growing, we will be organically farming our way to financial freedom!... Or, at least, we will be able to pay for the the irrigation system we want to put in before our fall planting gets started.
