Heddles Farm

As far as I'm concerned it's darn near criminal what's happened to our food supply. If loading down the soil with all kinds of petroleum made nitrates wasn't enough, now they are genetically modifying the seeds. It's really tough to sit by and watch our country bloat up like balloons... Not to mention the cows and the chickens all hemmed in sucking on antibiotics and things they they'd never imagine eating themselves.

We've been trying to eat local for years now but thanks to the infinite life force of Kauai we are taking local to a whole new level...

I started Heddles Farm off fairly modestly on a small patch of land about 5' by 6', the soil is very rich in our little town (it's been river silt for hundreds (maybe thousands?) of years), but it's also quite sandy. I mixed in our compost humus mixture to try and give our little crops the nutrients they need... hopefully it'll be enough.

I'm growing: lettuce, kale, tat soy, bok choy, chard, beets and basil.
In a few weeks I hope to plant some cherry tomatoes and hot peppers.

My biggest challenge so far has been pet traffic... the neighbor's dog even stole my sign!
