I would also be very interested in looking at your planning forms. I can see from the photo that they look very helpful, but the pics are too small to see details. If you would be willing to share them, please email them to hogg0009@umn.edu. Thanks for all the information in your blog!

Hi Eddie,

If possible, I’d also like to see your planning forms. I have some of my own, but they could always use some tweaking.

Kelli: I almost forgot … consider subscribing to the market-farming mailing list at http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/market-farming … Lots of very helpful people there, and the topic of crop scheduling had been discussed very recently.

There is some good documentation (including a planting schedule) on Roxbury Farm web site:

(Check under “Roxbury Farm Manual”).

Hi Eddie -

This is great, very helpful information, thanks for posting it! It hadn’t occurred to me to create spreadsheets… not sure why. But this will be much easier than shuffling my lists around. I’ve been really inspired by your story (especially being an HSU grad myself).

Looking forward to more ways to benefit from your experiences!

Hey there!

I just found your blog from the new Peaceful Valley catalog and man-o-man am I happy i did! I am a small lil freshman farmer over here in North Eastern Ohio myself. Last year was my first attempt of growing on a larger scale. While I was overall happy with my first year, I was disappointed in my planning and loss of my entire tomato crop (blight…ugh). So this year I have a much better idea of what to expect ( well somewhat anyhow). I was wondering if you might take a look at my planning for this year. I have tried calling the extension out here and no one really seems to be able to help me. (mostly because it seems like the extension really deals with old school conventional farming- which is certainly not me- hence I ask you?) If this is something that you can not help me with, perhaps you could direct me to someone who could?

It’s interesting, I see a real excitement among my friends and peers here of me being a young person giving farming a go- with unemployment rate high and the undeveloped/old farms available around here, seems to me a similar Freshman farmer program could do well here. Any ideas or direction you might give me to start something similar?

So many questions right? Well, I hope you understand. So far, your blog as proven to be really helpful to me way out here in Ohio. Thank you.
