A Feeling of Renewal

Establishing a new farm this year has been an amazing and exhausting experience. There are moments that are filled with anxiety as I stress over pests or irritation. But then there are moments of absolute peace when the sun touches the peaks on the mountains and I look up from my work to see the farm illuminated and the sky robust with color and flowers fill my vision.

I can’t believe how much this farm has changed since I began my work here last fall. It has grown from an empty yard to a robust flower farm. And it has become my retreat when I feel overwhelmed.

It has become my shelter when my mind is filled with too many fast moving thoughts.

The farm slows me down and lets me be a part of it’s beauty and space in a way that allows me to go back inside fresh and empty of worry.

It washes my mind clean and I feel renewed.
