It is with great sadness that I write to withdraw my name from this list for a time. Through the last five years this group has been a source of unequaled support and a wealth of information. Due to a car accident last July, I will be unable to farm this year. I sustained damage to two cervical vertebrae in my neck and so far they have not found anything that works to improve the pain. For at least this year, the greenhouse and high tunnel will sit empty and the fields will be planted to cover crops. It is heartbreaking to watch something that I have worked so hard for not grow and thrive this season. There have been many successes over the last few years and the fruits of that labor will continue to produce. The concept of CSA is no longer foreign in Wyoming, The Wyoming Fresh Market, Cheyenne's growers only farmers market is entering its 3rd season and expecting its best year ever, and Wyoming finally has a Farmers Marketing Association and I was proud to serve as the founding president of that board. The associations and friendships that I have made through this list will never die. For I time I will devote my energy to school and my children and hope that it will not be too long before I am starting seeds, planting, and harvesting again soon. A thousand thanks to all of you and many blessings in your worthy endeavors.
