On Monday, we woke up, fed the goats, and had our Monday morning team meeting. Then we continued working on grant applications and received helpful feedback from our partners at Delta. After making significant progress on our applications, we went outside to collect wood in preparation for a Tuesday biochar burn. That evening, we sent Jason off on his next adventure! We will miss his beautiful guitar playing, and we’re so happy he came to visit!

It’s our second week here and our days are fuller than our coffee thermoses. 

We have arrived! After months of conducting research on biochar and agroforestry, networking with farmers and organizations, applying for grants, developing research questions, renovating the farmhouse, and imagining what our time here would look like, we have finally made it.
