This deer wandered out of the forest to join us a at a friend's wedding!

These three characters from Germany came by to lend a hand for a few days. They are members of a 500year old fraternity of carpenters, and to receive the full Meister certification, they must travel the world for three years, working as they go, carrying only the smallest bag, and wearing these great outfits! The clothes are the only thing they can wear, but they are made of sturdy corduroy, weigh about 15lbs, and are fine for sleeping in on the ground without a tent!

Truly amazing. They built a toolshed for us in an afternoon with what wood was lying around. Good luck on your travels boys!!!!

Our lovable TV star Rueben the sheep is on air again. This time he was invited by TBS to join a penguin, a tortoise, a rooster, a mini goat and a cute pink pig! We did two days of shooting at the studio in Yokohama. A series of tests to prove which animal is most devoted to its owner. Rueben wasnt able to pull Jake out of the hole, or save him from the faked heart attack, but he was the favortie of the camera crew, following around the staff and licking their knees all weekend.

On-air Sunday June 15th, TBS channel 6, 8pm.

We are lucky to have such great staff and volunteers. Marty and Michelle came to help this spring and have been key to helping us get the cafe open for the season and the farm planted and growing. Marty is a mechanical engineer and will be going to Germany this fall to get his masters degree in renewable energy. Michelle is a professional educator and aspiring yoga sensei. They are hard workers and enjoy taking care of the hardest job we have, keeping our sheep out of the neighbors cabbage fields!
