Do you take suggestions for farms to write about? Could I encourage you to check out Micmak Farm in Batesville, Arkansas......I enjoyed their produce so much, when I visited recently...I want to recommend this farm as a must-see

The old bin

Our DIY reclaimed-wood project began at the Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary at Allen's Pond in Massachusetts. The existing compost bin was conspicuously ill-suited for their needs, not to mention being overgrown with grass and weeds. What should it be replaced with? We settled on a flexible design capable of producing high-quality compost, which can be used as the basis for any backyard composter.
