Amy's Farm

On Saturday the 17th of May, I had the opportunity to visit Amy's Farm, a small sustainable family farm. They are a real working poly culture farm, but also allow tours for students to have a real hands on educational experience.

They are a poly culture farm, that means they farm a verity of crops and they will try to incorporate native spices of weeds and plant life mixed throughout their farm. This, they hope, will invite the proper insects to help keep the "bad" insects in check. On thing that the tour guide said that stuck with me is that you can judge the health of a garden by the insects that you see living there. If the produce isn't safe enough for insects to eat, it may not be safe for you to eat either.

One other thing that I found interesting is that they offered a heard share program. This is where private individuates came "chip in " money to buy and care for a dairy cow. Because they are part "owners" of this cow they then can come and milk and keep the milk of their cow. This is the only legal way one can obtain and consume "raw" milk under Federal Law.
