Kiss a farmer

Posted by Lynn Jenkins in Valentine Hill , Seldom Seen Farms , organic farmers , local food , Kelly Funk , chemical free gardening , Bloomington , Balanced Harvest Farm

Today about 40 volunteers dug shallots and onions and spread mulch between rows of plants at Seldom Seen Farm near Danville. It was the first of probably many farm work days set up to help tend the crops at the farm where Kelly Funk was hit by lightening. Since that day about 3 weeks ago, life on the farm has changed dramatically for her husband John Ferree and 1-year old daughter Laila. Now John spends less time in the fields and more worrying about Kelly who is still in the hospital and faces a long recovery.
