Joe has returned to The Plot after a year of working on another farm, his fourth farm. (He was an intern for us in 2010, one of the few and proud to have lived a whole season in a motor home.) This year and, for as long as we can hold onto him, he will act as our Assistant Farm Manager. We are very thankful for him as he can do the work of two, while looking fashionable. In partial payment for his experience/expertise, we are giving Joe 2 acres for his own use. On this ground, he has started Three Plaid Farmers with cohorts Carolyn and Katie above. Read about their adventures on their blog: blog.threeplaid.com
This type of exchange follows--although not exactly-- the idea of the "incubator farm" like Prairie Crossing in Grayslake. In our scenario, instead of rent for the land, Joe is exchanging a significant amount labor for us, and responsibility. We are banking on such overlapping efforts and cooperation to yield more local and organic produce for all.
In addition to Joe, we have welcomed Meredith, Laura and Justin as part-time interns. More on these three next post.
