"If you like being alive, you might want to thank a plant."
I thought I'd share this NPR link. It talks about working out the genetic code for plants. It's always good to understand out world better. What's more crucial to our world than our food? This article will help you delve deeper into your own understanding about plants. Enjoy!

The Adventures of Cyber Agriculture
Those of you who are CSA 2.1 members know that BlackSheep Enterprises allows you to order the contents of your order. As you await the first week of your subscription, perhaps you are wondering how this ordering process is going to work. Well, have no fear! I'm here to answer your questions and give you a sneak peak at the new addition to the website.
Members will receive an email that will contain a link to an adobe form. All you need to view this form is adobe reader. This is a free download that can be found here. Frankly, most people who do anything from checking email to facebook will have this already downloaded on their computer. You just type in your name and select the items you want to have in your order. Next, you save a copy of the form on your computer. An easy button will be right on the form to help with this. Finally, you reply to the original email and attach the form you just saved.
Or. . .
You can pop over to the website CSA 2.1 page and open the form. Save a copy and email it to blacksheeples@gmail.com
All members will receive a password by email or phone that will give them access to the form. This helps us make sure that only members are receiving all the great discounts of CSA membership like wholesale prices. If you ever forget the password you can email or call us and we'll get you a new one. Easy Peasy!
I'm still working on the finer details of the forms. It takes a few hours to test them to make sure they work correctly and easily for members. It's all worth the work, though. The world is changing quickly and relying on technology more and more. It would be easy to say that since we're farmers we should stick to traditions and not worry about that change. People will still need to eat in the future. We want the food that they eat to be healthy and delicious. We want that food to be easily attained by growing families. What is easier than sending a quick email? Hopefully, you will all enjoy the benefits of our cyber adventures.
I also know that the blog has been a little sparse this month (Silly parents! I think I sent them four or five emails reminding them to post. lol) No worries, we are still here and strong. Spring planting and getting the orchard ready has kept us busy. More updates are coming; we promise!
