Harvest Fields Organic Farm

Finished up the new entrance to the farm today and got a nice sunset as well! #localfresno #organicfarming #farmsunset #fresnofarm #fresnofarmers #farmwork #fresnocounty

Lizard Rescue! I dug some post holes a couple days ago for some new fence. Came back today to find that a couple lizards had found their way in but couldn't get out. They were so cold that they made no effort to avoid me, so I picked them both up and set the on a nearby rock to warm up. They both ran off after a few minutes. #lizardsofig #lizardsofcalifornia #fresnocounty #cloviscalifornia #clovisca #organicfarming #californiawildlife

I think the local clan of ground squirrels have a very different idea of what it means to share the land with me. I recently noticed that they have taken up residence under my burn pile, along my Irrigation lines, and even in my trailer of compost! #farmimgwithnature #sustainablefarming #organicfarming #farmorganic #localfresno #fresnocounty #cloviscalifornia #groundsquirrel

Got the new (used) gate painted and the gate post ready. Even did a test fit to make sure I drilled the holes in the right spot. Then came the time to.dig the whole. So, if you had one chance to pick a location for your gate post on a 12 acre property what are the odds you would pick the only place on the property where there is an underground telecom cable? My odds are ! Thank fully the provider help my find a solution that doesn't involving finding a different spot for the gate. #fresnocounty #fresnofarmers #fresnofarm #organicfarming #localfresno #farmgates

Everything was going great until......SNAP! And then it wasn't. . Snapped both handles on my broadfork. I was going good, nice rythym, but took off a little too big of a bite I guess. The ground has never been forked before so it's not unexpected. The left handle was split and took 8 "stitches". I broke the right handle clean off but got four bolt in it and was able to finish the bed. I love wood handles, so much more comfortable than steel, but not as strong obviously. #organicfarming #fresnofarm #fresnofarms #broadfork #treadlitebroadforks

Despite the appearance of this relatively cute picture, neither the dog nor the chicken helped me put concrete today, and the chicken wrote her name in it while I wasn't looking! #fresnofarmers #australianshepherd #pasturedpoultry #fresnocounty #organicfarming

This is the lovely canopy from the big oaks that are the farm. I like how they form my view like a piece of art. It’s in these moments of pause that sometimes reveal something that I would have missed. Having a pause moment is valuable. . . . . #thankful #pause #moments #trees #canopy #farmlife #farm #fresno #value #art #beauty #oaks #auberryca #localfresno #organic

I need to put in a new gate and road into the farm since the current one runs throygh the middle of an area that we want to grow in. So I spent the day working on this gate to take all the rust and old paint off before painting it. #fresnofarms #fresnocounty #organicfresno #farmgates
