The Journey Continues

Last Tuesday, we left Whitt's End Farm on Mexico's Baja Peninsula and headed for Guadalajara. Stayed with some friends of friends of my dad for a night, and then bused it (again) to our next location of learning. It's a food co-op called Organic Select. They produce some of their own products, buy others from local folks, package and distribute them in the area to around 300 people. It's been a cool experience so far.

But plans are changing. This past week, we've been staying at the house which is the home base of action and business. We've had our own room and bathroom for the first time in while, which is nice. But come this Wednesday, we're heading out, way out, with Marie - the co-op's master gardener - to help develop a new property in Yelapa. We'll probably be preparing the land to plant, figuring out ways to keep iguanas out of the crops, and then planting. Yelapa is a "remote fishing village that is most easily accessed by boat." So we'll be out there, in between jungle and ocean. Should be an adventure. We'll most likely set up the tent again.

Here's some recent pictures.

Before we left the goat farm, Travis, who competes in the Baja 1000 desert race, took Lynea for a ride.

I helped make this spiral garden out back at our new place.

Lynea cutting microgreens.

These are sunflower seed microgreens. They're packed full of nutrients and tasty on salads.

We're a short bus ride from the beach

  1. You'll have to explain to me how to keep the animals out of any garden that isn't protected... I like the spiral garden concept. And the microgreens! Such fun to read the posts :-) Keep enjoying your adventure!
