working on the farm

wednesday, vegan mama and I ventured out to work at
Blue Flax Farm in Victor, Idaho. we had to drive 'the
teton pass'. it connects wyoming, to idaho. let me tell
you, this road is steep and curvy. not for the faint of
heart. i couldnt imagine driving that frightening road
to work daily.

this small and gorgeous farm is owned by Megan, where she
practices organic
farming and she works it similar to a coop
farm.


we began the morning with harvesting cilantro. we weeded
and cut. vegan mama then divided it
into shares. i began
weeding the garlic and moved to help weed and give
breathing room to the spinach.


there were two other ladies there working al
ong with us. one
helped with the cilantro, and the other harvested chives.

i stopped a bit early and took shots of the sights and gals
working. the farm had immaculate views of Mount
Owen.

today vegan mama received her first share. she got
sorrel, radishes, chives, cilantro, turnips, and onions.
quite a bit of loot!

on the way home we stopped at the peak of the
pass to take a few pics. it was exhilarating.
we could see for miles
and several towns in the
valley down below. i feel like a broken record

but EVERYTHING is so gorgeous! i cant help it

i can see why so many are attracted to the
area and decide to stay and make it a home.
