Shelly:  So sorry to hear about the accident and the pain that makes farming not possible.  It is heart breaking to invest as much as you  have and watch it just sit there-- and I'm glad you can see what a difference you've made in Wyoming.
 
Hoping the pain gets controlled and you can farm again next season.

Subject: [Market-farming] Sad News and Goodbye (for now)

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.
