Anne and Georgios began by discussing planting habits in the past. Georgios mentioned he spoke with the women that is looking after the goats. Some folks mention we should discuss composting because its expanding to include the kitchen’s scraps and leftovers. The group comes to agreement that better structure is needed. We decide to ountline the three year plan. And as we discuss it, we’ll cover every farm issue.
