Farmy Olympics

For one day only, the farm olympics came to CatFace Farm yesterday. Dressed in spandex and wigs, sunglasses and knee socks, the apprentices duked it out for metals made out of oversized zucchini strung onto necklaces of combined red twist ties.

The english fork toss, an irrigation relay, apple bobbing, hose coiling, and of course- 'whats up?!'-- we laughed till our sides ached. Mad chaos of competition and squealing devolving into the all-too predictable rotten tomato war.

It's good to remember to have fun as a farmer. Sometimes we get too serious and self important about food production, and saving the world, and whatever, that we miss how important laughter, and spandex, and rotten tomatoes really are.
