Farming in the shade

Lona: Michigan's West Coast, United States; Hi, I'm Lona (rhymes with Donna). Our family lives and works on a small farm. We raise cattle and sheep, and produce wool products, compost, hay, corn and edible beans for our own use and for sale. I enjoy reading, weaving, crocheting, music and having a clean, organized house. These are things I enjoy--but not often... Thanks for visiting my blog. I love it when you comment!

Farming in the Shade

When I chose the name for this blog, it was partly a play on the name of our farm--Shady Side Farm. It was also partly a statement on the decline of farming in America--that somehow a cloud has passed over the sun, and we work on while worrying what is to come.
