I can't believe it's almost July. We've been here for over a month working on the farm and it's hard to believe we are half way through with this summer internship. THERE IS STILL SO MUCH LEFT TO DO!!
Oh boy. I guess this would be a good place to write down some weekly goals. You probably came here to read about my experience and what I'm thinking about so here it goes!
First off, I would really like to finish up with the website by mid way through next week. A couple interns will be gone this weekend, but I would like for them to be part of the process, so hopefully by Wednesday we will be finished with this thing. Kind of related to the website, I would like to publicize more, to really promote Miller Farm and get the the Richmond and Earlham communities more involved. I was very surprised by the lack of Earlham faces at the farmers market's this summer. We have seen a couple professors walk through with their kids, and we've seen a few EC grads coming in and supporting the locally grown community farmers, but nowhere near the amount of people I was expecting to see. I don't know why this is. It could be because so many of our professors don't actually live in Richmond- maybe they've got their own farmers market's that they attend. Who knows? But I would like to get EC more involved somehow.
This past Saturday, Mark Brim came out to Miller Farm bright and early to film us while we prepared for the farmers market. He made a great video with some beautiful shots. It's been posted to the Miller Farm facebook page and has been shared by many. Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYqmhbBOAqo
Another goal would be to find Koshka a home very, very soon. The longer she is here, the harder it is to "try" and find her a new home. We have all fallen in love with her. She's an amazing dog and so sweet. Never aggressive, very playful, and so smart. There are a few people who have expressed interest, but nobody that's agreed to take her from us. I am very afraid that when the end of the summer comes, we will have no choice but to give her to HELP. They are full at the moment, but I'm sure there will be space soon enough. If any of you are interested in a wonderful dog, please contact us. We would love to have you come out and meet her.
There is always work to do around the farm: watering, weeding, planting, finding a home for a furry friend, etc. We've got our work cut out for us, but I think we can get it all done.
Thanks for reading!
