On Saturday, June 25 our group took a field trip to the Boston Suburbs to meet two suburban farming operations.
The first place we went was Sienna Farms (http://www.sienafarms.com). We had a chance to talk with Max and with Chris, both of whom have been involved at Maggie's Farm. Max was very proud of (and we were greatly impressed by) the implement that lays plastic, punches holes and inserts tomato starts.

We also visited Pete & Jen's Backyard Birds (http://peteandjensbackyardbirds.com/) in Concord. I was very impressed with the care they offer their animals, even though both of them (Pete and Jen) have full-time jobs beyond their work with these animals. They are putting to work all the principles we are studying in a positive, community-oriented manner. Inspiring!
