Greetings All!

As most of y'all know, I am spending the next few months of my life working at Overlook Farm in Rutland, Massachusetts. This will be quite an adventure for the southern city girl that I am! Overlook is a farm owned and operated by Heifer International, an organization that works to alleviate hunger and poverty all over the world through sustainable development. You can learn more, if you want to, at heifer.org.

This 270 farm is a learning center where groups come to learn about what Heifer does and about the problems of hunger and poverty around the world. As a member of their education department, I get to facilitate these groups, teach them what I know, and help them draw their own conclusions.

So far, though, I have just been training. It's been fun and I've taken some pictures I want to show y'all! So first.....

This is why it's called Overlook Farm! Isn't it gorgeous?!?!

And here is the garden! We have a two acre organic vegetable garden. There will be much more about it coming soon.

There are really pretty roads and paths all around. Most of the 270 acres of the farm is woods, so there are lots of nice walks to take.

And this is a view of the barn from down the hill. One of my favorite things is how much the barn looks like a barn. It's even red!

There will be many more updates to come, including plenty of pictures of animals and food. I hope y'all will have as much fun reading about my adventures as I will have having them! Enjoy!
