Last week the team from small planet foods got together for a Holiday Party near Sedro Wooley, WA. This time of year we're all looking forward to spending time with family, friends and neighbors to celebrate the holiday season.
Many farmers don't have the luxory of having days off, or paid vacation. Many livestock farmers work 7 days per week, 365 days per year. As the saying goes..."These cows won't milk themselves" ...even on Christmas!
At the home farm, our winter crops don't require quite as much attention and work, but there is still plenty of work to be done - even in the off season. There is planning to be done with our sourcing partners from around country and around the world. Equipment on the farm needs maintinence and upkeep, and winter is often the best time to do it.

Soon enough spring will be here. It will be time to sew our seeds, and get ready for the busy season. But for now we're looking forward to some time with our famies, and hope you enjoy the same this holiday season!
