NATIONAL YOUNG FARMERS COALITION.
Our new friend and all-around awesome person Jenna wrote a sweet, sweet article about us for the National Young Farmers Coalition. I had so much fun talking with Jenna on the farm about our story, but also discussing ideas and frustrations and all the sorts of problems that young farmers face today. I love NYFC's mission: to enable and encourage and mobilize young farmers. Check out their lovely site and stay tuned for more farmer profiles!

We are up to our ears in fresh ginger!

Always adventurous Charlie.
STAY-CATION.
Hannah and I have been saving a little money over the season to afford us a small vacation. Well, vacation might be the wrong word for it. What we're really doing is taking a few days to go see the folks in November up near Lexington, and we're truly looking forward to it––to a tiny, ahem, stay-cation.We're excited to see family. We're excited to see some friends. And we're excited to take advantage of two of our favorite towns––Louisville and Lexington––a bit like a tourist might get to. Which brings me to the reason for posting this: What's going on in Lexington and Louisville in mid-November?Where should we eat? Where can we catch some good music? Where should we grab a lively cup of coffee... a cold pint of beer? What about art museums? Exhibits? Antiques stores and thrift shops? We know these cities fairly well, but new things seem to be popping up every day––what are they!?I should add that although we chose to stay in Kentucky to see our family and because we didn't have a lot of money to do otherwise, we also chose to take our vacation here because of how good Kentucky has been to us these past two years and how proud we are to be from this wonderful and ever-evolving state. In essence, we really wanted to give back what little we could, so please leave us a comment and help us build our plans to do so!- Jesse.
