Post #1 - August 15th, 2012, 2:19 pmFrom the [url]FamilyFarmed.org[/url] listserv:This season has been difficult for farmers across the nation. Drought has decimated crops and left many farmers with little to no harvest. It's important during these times to support local farmers, especially those hit hardest. One such family farm is Harvest Moon Farms run by Bob and Jen Borchardt. They're in desperate need of additional resources to help fund irrigation equipment for their remaining crops, so we've collected a variety of events that will help support them, but are also fun and entertaining. We hope you'll join us!

August 23, 2012"To get long" meant to make do, to make well of whatever we had; it was about having a long view, which was endurance, and a long heart, which was hope.
