Market Farming

["Celeste Illgner Havener" <chavener AT uwyo.edu>]

Jaime,

I have some folks here wanting to learn more about cow shares.  How do you set  yours up?  Delivery?  Is it working well for you?  Anything you would do differently?

Thanks for any information,

Celeste Havener

Hello, the instructions said to send out a post introducing ourselves...

 

I'm Jaime Burroughs and my husband, Joe, and I have an almond ranch in California. I'm an avid gardener and support of sustainable agriculture, and thereby seriously considering starting a CSA garden. I just need to ante up the courage to jump in! :)

 

My inlaws are ranchers from the Central Valley trying various things: organic dairying for instance, selling Cow-shares on another dairy, organic almonds, farm fresh organic eggs and so on (those are all different people)...and my husband and I are trying to find our niche.

 

More on us:  We have three children, all under the age of 4. I teach English at a nearby High School and my husband works for an agricultural fertilizer and chemical company as the equipment guy. (Mostly delivers and repairs lots of equipments - spray rigs, pumps, etc).  I'm thrilled to have found this list to mostly "listen" in on and inspire me.

 

Happy Talking!

 

Jaime
