Certified Organic = Lots of Paperwork

We meet with the Extension Agency Friday morning at 9am to register our farm to become Certified Organic. This is a 3 year process that involves alot of paperwork to make sure we follow the rules. Good thing I am detailed oriented and Cris is the mechanical/chemical guy. I'll keep the books and he will keep the plants healthy. We found a place that is giving away manure/hay compost that has been sitting for a while....woo-hoo! Luckily it is close to the farm so we won't have far to go with the truckload of poo. :) This will go on our pasture area and not the vegies. Funny how our 5 year plan has turned into a 1-2 year plan. If all goes well, we'll be living on the farm in a little over a year....depending on if I ever decide on a house plan.
