On the farm!

We are finally in Montana.

After one night at a hotel in Bozeman, which we didn't do anything, we traveled through the Bridger Canyon into Wilsall.  Our new home town.  About 3 miles outside of town is Crazy View farm.  We rolled up in the early afternoon.  Luckily it was a nice day with the sun shining, although there were storm clouds visible over the mountains.  


After meeting Laurie (our boss, the farmer) for the first time in person we started get settled in.  We scoped out a nice location for the trailer under an overhang next to the garage and got it popped up.  Then we started to straighten out our stuff inside - a job that will take days I'm sure.

Once we were set up we were put to work.  There was an order that needed to be filled.  The first of the season.  We headed into the greenhouse and were instructed to pick a lettuce mix, spinach, and arugula.  After we had collected what we needed, we were invited to join a group of Laurie and Billy's friends in town for dinner.


The group was having dinner to celebrate the end of a long, hard day of branding their calves at the ranch Billy works for.  It's tradition to have dinner for all the guys and we were lucky to join in.


The cafe in Wilsall is nice.  And all the people were friendly. They welcomed us right in.  We finished dinner and headed back to the farm.  We stayed up and chatted with Laurie and Billy for a little bit and then headed out for our first night of sleep in the camper.
