Farmer Kim and The Feathery Ladies Continues!

It has been a while since I last worked on my 18x24 inch fabric book titled, Farmer Kim and The Feathery Ladies. It will be 15 pages total and now I have 12 complete. I look forward to binding the pages together and presenting the book to the people. :)

Harvesting for Sunday Market

Yesterday I did the market for Wormfarm at Thunder Valley Inn in the Dells.

It was a rainy day but the veggies looked beautiful.

The day before the market I harvested what I would need.  Here is some kale and chard about to soak in cold water.  It cleans the veggies of dirt and bugs but also gets them cold so they do not wilt in the fridge.

Peppers!

Took a break to enjoy a pear.

Honeycrisp apples.

Eggplant.

Harvesting carrots is a lot of fun.  First I fork nearby the carrots to loosen the soil.

Then I pull them out easy.  It feels so good to pull these tasty orange guys out of the soil and here them pop as they come out.

Romano beans!

Yesterday was another useful experience learning to harvest for market and set up a stand.

Finished!

Monsanto and the Farmer is finally finished!

In the end, the corn is hardly visible because it is being crushed by Monsanto. It is sad that so much of my work is not seen, but at the same time it reminds me of the work the farmers do that is not appreciated.

Monsanto owns the corn and the farmers are it's minions. Monsanto can destroy the farmer. I wanted Monsanto to be crushing many varieties of heirloom corn because they insist on only growing one kind of corn, and this corn can mix with the heirloom seeds and we can loose them for good. Mexico is especially proud of it's many varieties of corn, but Monsanto has succeeded in growing it's one variety of corn there as well.

The farmer offers the one kind of genetically modified corn Monsanto has them grow.
