When you're taking a break from your usual activities this weekend, maybe enjoying a cold beer or a glass of wine, maybe sitting through a commercial while watching a favorite TV show, take a moment to send out some positive thoughts to your old friends at Double K Farms.
This weekend, we are hoping to plant 1,000 baby aronia berry plants on our farm. If you haven't heard, aronias are the latest superfood. They are higher in polyphenols and antioxidants than blueberries and are reported to fight cancer!
In order to accomplish this somewhat monumental feat, we need the following (focus those positive thoughts):
- the cooperation of Mother Nature (right now, she's a bit rainy)
- the help of good friends and family (got it! Thanks, everyone. You're the best!)
- the tractors to work properly
- the tires on the tractors and carts to stay inflated
- the deer not to take too much interest in the little plants
- and whatever else I haven't anticipated (and I'm sure there are at least a couple of things that fit this category!)
Thanks, in advance, for your warm wishes.
May all the harmonies converge this weekend in southwestern Iowa!
Hey good luck, us!
