The Good Earth Farm
(Page 4 of 4)
A large wire drying rack suspended from the ceiling over
the stove held a goatskin. At other times during the year,
we were told, the rack is apt to be loaded with edibles
such as orange peels, parsley and sliced apples.

The weaving in process on the loom contained various
textures of weeds, mosses and spun fibres . . . and it was
good to sit at a hand-made wood table sipping tea made of
rose hips, catnip and peppermint . . . eating dried apples
dipped in honey . . . and listening to Charlotte explain
her recipe for goat's milk cheese.
Outside, it was a rare sunny day and it also felt good to
walk around on the LeRoy's farm and play with their goats
We were sorry to leave the tranquil retreat but we had to
catch the ferry and Gene and Charlotte undoubtedly were
eager to make the most of the lovely day by working in
their fields.
"It's a lot of work . . . but never toil," Gene said. "What
you need, though, is faith. Faith that whatever you attempt
to do will work out OK."
