One of the benefits of having a new farm is all the possibilities it contains. I am not using all my acres currently; they are being used by a local cattle merchant to grow hay on. He does not pay us to grow his hay, we trade with him; he keeps the weeds out and in turn he is allowed to keep the hay. Things are destined to change however after a text I received from my sister the other night.

She sent me an attachment about a local rosemary farm that had unfortunately been forced to close because of the harsh winter, and asked what I thought about maybe trying our hand at growing the plant. I told her that we definitely have the room to grow it but before we commit maybe we should try a small patch of it to see how it goes. We both agreed so now we are on the road to growing a crop that neither of us knows anything about but that is what I love the most about farming.

This is the area where we will first test our relationship with rosemary.
