Season Totals

TOTAL FOOD HARVESTED IN 2011 AT MUD CREEK FARM: 62,338 lbs

That's about the weight of five elephants, harvested by hand from less than seven acres of mud, using only organic practices. Imagine how many people we could feed if those seven acres of lawn or cornfield near you were put into organic vegetable production. We have over 300 families eating vegetables from our farm. Enjoy the holidays!

I just experimented with a new Google Maps mashup tool for estimating surface area. With it i tallied 7.03 acres under cultivation west of McMahon and a total of 16+ acres.

At Google Docs is the tally and Box the map outline.
