First Harvest

Today the trial and demo farm offered up its first produce.  We harvested significantly more than we anticipated and ran out of boxes for the eggplant before starting on the "Classic" eggplant which we will pick on Saturday.  We finished the day by treating neighbors to a very late and very well deserved lunch.

We were also privileged to host two groups of visitors today.  One is a pesticide company who is working with us to trial a benign form of pesticide on our land.  If effective it is good for us, good for our neighbors and good for the environment.  We also received a visit from representatives from Cattle for Christ International, an NGO founded to support beef cattle production among smallholders in the developing world.
