Ask us.

My original idea for this blog was to be a simple weekly update of the happenings on Two Bridges Farm, but I have always wanted to find better and easier ways to engage our customers and share the food production process with the community.  One of the best parts about directly marketing our product to customers through farmers' markets is the fact that people can ask us questions directly and hear about where their food comes from directly from the farmer.  This dynamic is exciting for us, because part of the reason we decided to get involved in agriculture is because of the disconnected state of the food industry.  We picked a good time to get involved in direct market farming because there is an increasing interest from people in where their food is coming from, how their veggies are grown, and how the animals are treated.

This blog seems like a perfect outlet for engaging even more people and helping them understand about what we do.  We're not experts by any means; we jumped into this endeavor headfirst with very little experience or knowledge on what it meant to be a sustainable farmer.  Our first year of production has been a crash course in every way possible and we're still learning more every day.  But what is the point of learning if not to share?  And if there's one thing I know for sure to be true is that sharing what you know with the world will inevitably guide you more knowledge.

So I would like to open up this blog to be not only weekly updates on farm life but also to address any questions anyone would like to ask us regarding any aspect of what we do as a farm.  If we cannot answer a question for whatever reason, we are privileged to be in a position where we have easy access to resources where we can find an answer easily.  I will try to address a question or two each week, either throughout the week or within the weekly farm update.  Until questions start coming in, or if this idea doesn't take off, I will simply address the most frequently asked questions from the markets (believe me, there are tons of those!)

So, feel free to leave a comment, shoot us a message on Facebook, or email me at austin [at] twobridgesfarm [dot] net.  I'm sure that this blogging platform has some functions which will streamline the Question and Answer process, but I will have to look into that later!  We look forward to being able to share what we do with the world and hope that we can foster an interaction which will hopefully serve to strengthen a sense of community.
