Green Flamingo Organics

So it looks like we're gonna go volunteer at Green Flamingo Organics next Saturday. Here's the basic description:

Green Flamingo Organics is a small organic farm in the midst of 140 acres of citrus groves located in Oak Hill Florida. This is the first year of production and we are working on growing the vegetable garden, keeping a flock of laying hens, and propagating perennials and fruit and nut trees. As the farm develops we are interested in creating more projects in living systems. New projects we are working towards include rain water catchment, alternative energy, green construction, beekeeping, mycology, and really almost anything that sounds fun, interesting, and produces deliciousness. The farm will produce for a CSA and market this year. We are located 30 miles south of Daytona Beach, FL, in very close proximity to Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge, Canaveral National Seashore, and miles of intercoastal waterway.

To Lindsay and I, this is like saying, "Hey, how about you start out in Heaven?" It's located in the most ideal place imaginable for us and it's working on sustainable systems, which is exactly the kind of farming we want to do. If things work out, we might make it our first full-time internship.

Apparently this is their big season. I'm sure they'd welcome extra hands (mainly because they said so). If anybody wants to come along next Saturday, drop me a line.

Giddy giddy giddy giddy!
