Engaging in agriculture means accepting our human frailty in the face of Nature.<\/p>

On June 17th, we described ourselves as \u201ccautiously optimistic\u201d about the state of the project\u2019s olive groves. But on June 21st, thirteen minutes of hail were enough to wipe out maybe as much as half the fruit.<\/p>

It’s hard not to feel a sense of futility and helplessness. And yet, the olive tree \u2014 with its eternal cycle \u2014 will bring us back into its flow. It will remind us that sometimes, a little is enough.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Those were the bad news. The good news? Our summer photo contest has officially begun!

This year, we\u2019ve decided to honor the hen \u2014 this wonderful, funny, humble creature that has been saving lives for thousands of years: through its meat, yes, but even more through its \u201cfruit\u201d\u2014 the egg.<\/p>

But the hen is more than that: it protects the vegetable garden from pests, keeps the yard clear of snakes and scorpions, and enriches the soil with its precious manure.<\/p>


So, here\u2019s to the \u201cOde to the Hen\u201d<\/strong>! Have fun taking part!
And tell your friends too!<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
