Thanks-Giving

Happy Thanksgiving from the Art Farm
 Hello Moon Bears,


Thank You for being the best community of ever! 

Your faith in us, your financial support through subscriptions, your heartfelt feedback have all made for a most blessed year on our little farm. The earth is sleeping right now and spring seems like a long way off. We'll let the land rest and dream for a while. Through the long nights we will remember everything that grew and then fell into the harvest basket this year. 

Hope to see you in in 2015. It looks like we have seven members signed up already for next season. I'll be sending more info out in January regarding the garden, subscription rates, new offerings and visions for our humble CSA. Until then, please know you are appreciated. Thanks.

Here's a poem about our first freeze of the year.



Frozen Thinking


The hard frost finally

falls upon the land,

killing the bugs

that swamped the farm.

It’s a frosty hallelujah,

at a price.


The frog,

the praying mantis,

the spider,

how did they fare?

The frost cracks open

the builders

as well as the destroyers.

Good bug,

bad bug,

who is who?



How do I protect the heart

from frozen thinking and

fearful meanderings?
Suppressing one emotion

suppresses all emotions.

It’s not the heart

in the cold ground

that needs rearranging,

it’s the discerning

sky of the mind.

Blessing to You this Season,
Rick and Heather

  1. Enjoy the quiet winters rest, tho the earth looks like it is asleep, beneath it is rejuvenating for the next season. It won't be long and you will be using the green houses once again. Happy winters peace and rest...
