winter web

The island is cased in ice, but the days are getting longer, and winter is turning to spring. Boxes are arriving at the post office almost daily, seeds and cultivation supplies from far and wide. I’ll start planting this week, onions and leeks on a heat mat in my kitchen.

The biggest project of the season was a new website for the farm. I used a service called Small Farm Central , which specializes in helping small farms build websites. I met their lead developer Simon at the ASCFG conference a couple years ago and thought it was a great idea.

Basically, Small Farm Central takes care of the technical stuff, ie the templates and hosting, and lets the farmer to do the fun stuff, content and design and shuffling pictures around.

In the past few weeks I have become an expert in the art of shuffling pictures around. If this ever becomes a marketable skill, I will be making the big bucks.

At any rate, if you want to check it out, here’s a link:
