    We are getting ready for you all to come- We have ground to plow harrow and seed, oats to thresh, powered by a 2 horse treadmill, logs to skid and pile, loose hay to bring in if the weather allows, good food to enjoy in great company and much more. Put Sept 16-18 on your calendar now if it’s not already there and send in the form (so we can have an idea of number of people to feed). Info is on the DAP site and at http://www.fairwindsfarm.org
    We are looking for a few more teams of any kind (mules, oxen, horses) – contact us if you’d like to bring yours. We have about 16-20 animals animals coming now. E-mail fairwindsfarm.org or call 802-254-9067.

    We want the gathering to continue to be a low key event where draft animal people can get together and do what we love to do best – share working with our animals and each other. There is as much to do as we might want. Come and camp here if you wish – we have the food and dry space if it might be needed and lots of good company.

    Field work: plowing, harrowing, planting
    Thresh oats, thresher powered by 2 horse treadmill
    Loose hay pickup and in the barn
    Skid and stack logs and tops

    As we discussed at the field days, I’d be happy to bring my team of percherons. Jennifer

    I know we talked about bringing my steers and the implements that I have, I wanted to add that I also have a small cultipacker that I could bring for after you crop is seeded. It may need a little weight on it but it worked fine for our needs this spring.

    Jenn, that would be great. We’ll be looking for you. We have a paddock they can be turned out in for the night if that would be useful. Erika, sounds very good. Yes bring the cultipacker (and your steers) What else would you want to bring? We’ll put you right to work. Sure was wet today. Should dry out a bit tomorrow though. Best, Jay
