This has been tree planting week.

The farm has gotten 10 Scotch Pines to start our windbreak.  We also got 2 Kentucky Coffee Trees, but they don’t make coffee.  I also planted an entire row of Maple seeds.  Those little helicopter seeds seem to cause trees to pop up like weeds in gardens, so we saved a bunch of them, and hopefully we’ll have 100 little saplings soon.

We also took the Cub Scouts on a tree planting party at St Joesph Cemetery where they helped plant 50 trees.

It was a drizzly type of day yesterday, and now it’s pouring today.  That should help.

Yes actually.  There are 3 coffee plants growing in our living room right now.  We expect them to remain house plants, and doubt we will ever see berries.  Apparently, each of these little plants will produce 1 lb of finished/roasted coffee per year.  There must be millions of them out there to supply us with our needs.

The coffee business is doing excellent.  Even in this down economy, we have had 3 months of revenue growth, and we are mere steps away from expanding operations.
