Yesterday T. McLeod and I split up the runs; I headed east of the lake and he headed west.
Along his travels, T. learned of an upcoming event at Bird Brain Ostrich Ranch...April 19th; check for more information in a separate post.
I had an interesting conversation with one of our local farmers who has a crop of organic wheat coming online in mid-June. He's already presold most of it to a mill in Mooresville, but I've asked if we can get in on the action. So if anyone is interested in getting some wheat, or if you have any suggestions about what exactly to do with it once we do have it, please comment!
Also, there's a prospect of one of our farmers starting to do organic blackberries...I thought we would be interested, but want to hear from you...if he were to plant them, would you be there next year to buy?
Finally, I've gotten some more info on gardening supplies...
- Abigail J. reported back with the name of the source for beneficial insects: Seed Planters Supply & Equip: 14310 Hunters Rd Huntersville, NC 704-992-0330
- Stewart Gray is able to mill 4x4 cedar posts for anyone interested in creating stacked raised beds; anyone interested should post a comment here.
- Local farmer has 4-5 year old manure he's willing to sell us; anyone interested should post a comment here.

Yes, would be very interested in the blackberries! dgt
I would definitely be interested in the manure for soil enrichment as well as having some cedar raised beds made.
I'd be interested in Stewart's cedar. Leslie
