The Wandering Potato

Welp. The sprout farm has been a rollercoaster of shame at this point to be completely and utterly honest with you. The first week was probably our best week and ever since then it has just been going up ( I say up because if you really think about it the up part of the roller coaster is the worst part of the ride.) Last week our pour sprouts didn't grow enough to harvest enough for the shops we deliver too, just the market.. and this week we don't even have any for the market. So on that note, I am officially on the hunt for a second job, need to make some cash money not just maintain it. Lismore is a pretty hard place to find work but hopefully I can find something, wish me luck in that department! That being said, on the way to print out my resumes this afternoon I had a very horrifying and traumatic experience and I will probably never be the same again.

Well my life is pretty much sprouts at the moment. Taking over a farm as you can imagine is a huge investment.. Our first Crop for the Tuesday market wasn't very good unfortnetley BUT our Wednesday crop yesterday went beautifully and we were almost completely finished by noon. Bons and I are both full on stressed, just hoping we are doing everything right and to the best of our abilities, just as long as we don't beat each other up I think it will be a o k. The market is crucial for us because it's where we make most of our cash, we also sell olives and olive oil as well as wheatgrass shots. There are a lot of regulars and some are a lot.. Friendlier than others.  I really like the weekends out on Jacobs family farm, it's almost like a retreat due to the no service and wifi. We all go out there and just enjoy the beautiful company and scenery, and have a really really great time drinking Australian goon (bagged wine 😑) in the evening amongst a movie magic blanket...
