Most of you have heard by now that hurricane Irene flooded many farms at the height of the growing and harvest season. My own farm had 19 of 22 cultivated acres go under 2 to 4 feet of water. I have lost all but a tiny fraction of this years harvest. The summer crops are wiped out, there are no storage crops for the winter markets, and the typical fall bounty will be a meager sampling of what should have been. Financially, this is a disaster for the farm. This is usually the time of year where I pay down debt and put some money aside to keep the farm running through the winter and to start buying supplies for the next season. The farm really has no safety net and I continually find myself thinking that I just need some crops to generate some income, to get out of this mess. The hard truth is that even with the replanting I am trying to do ( as I write this the farm is under water again, this time from tropical storm Lee) it is way too late in the year to make up for what has been lost. I created this gift registry as a way to ask a lot of people to chip in and give the farm a little help. Honestly, I need your help.
So please do what you can and spread the word far and wide. Please let other people know how much this little farm of mine means to you, and ask them to help as well.
Thanks, Kira- of Evolutionary Organics
