Interns Rule!

John and Can have hit the ground running and have been a HUGE help. They have been bottle feeding at all hours, setting fences for daily moves, helping support difficult deliveries and ensuring that vulnerable lambs get that all magic mother's milk when they need it.

We meet lots of folks who are excited by the idea of regenerative farming, but are less excited by the actual repetitive work that goes into. We have our Wendell Berry moments here to be sure—but there's also a lot of plain, old, labor—and labor that we ask be done in a very particular way, after years of being at it and knowing what works.

The whole Studio Hill crew is delighted by work ethic, commitment, positive attitude and genuine interest that John and Can have shown in their first few days here. Thank you, team!

To give a very Old Vermonter compliment: "These aren't no shovel leaners."

Footnotes:

*A shovel leaner is one who stands back and leans on their shovel, pontificating while everyone else digs the hole.
