I entered some soap that Bonnie made into the competition.
I attended a workshop on USDA requirements, then one on Fruit tree orchard basics, then fruit tree orchard advanced topics, then farming raspberries and blueberries, then one on building the natural defenses of trees, and finally one on legislation of farm crops.
Today I did one workshop on "Edible Landscaping", then "Drip Irrigation", "Low Hoop houses", "Medicinal Fungi", "Homeopathy for animals", and finally "how to build your own cider press".
I attended "Growing Peach tree farms in Maine", while she attended "Organic Certifications". Then I attended "Rodale Research Institute", and she attended "Shaker Herb Gardens". Then I attended "Solar Power", while she attended "After Butchering Poultry". Then I attended "Your Thyroid", while she attended "Growing Hot Weather Plants in Cool Climates". Then we together attended "Organic Livestock Management". Then we both attended "Colony Collapse and Honeybee diseases".
Bonnie had entered a basket of coloured soap eggs in the fair competition for which she got a red ribbon. And she entered a basket of seashell shaped oatmeal soaps that got another red ribbon. And she entered a dozen scented and coloured eggs in an egg carton which got a blue ribbon. And I entered a dozen of my chicken's brown eggs which got a blue ribbon.
Jake and I did make it up there today, but not until late in the afternoon, about an hour before closing. He loved it, I loved it, and we will make the time next year, God willing, and spend a full day.
Beautiful countryside, and a beautiful day to spend at the fair this year.
