Greetings from the farm! 




Let’s start with some background… The players! Cory and Shanti are the owners of Whipstone Farm.  They have three kids: Cooper, 5, and the twins, Olive and Jasper, 2.   They are very animated and adorable, with never a dull moment between the three. 

We have four interns.  Let's begin with Dylan OB. This is Dylan's second summer interning and forth visit to Whipstone.  After his Environmental Internship through Eckerd College in 2008, Dylan couldn't deny the call of the farm.  Stephani (Our Gal) Friday is also in her second summer at Whipstone.  She attributes her discovery of Whipstone to Marta Weber and thanks her lucky stars each day for the serendipity of it all.  Steph decided to invite her high school bud, E Stix, to join the organized chaos.  She gladly accepted the offer, and despite some very localized sunburns, hasn't looked back.  Our fourth intern will live in one of the two trailers next to the house.  There’s also Julio who works every weekday, Piedad appears weekly, and we’ll have many more seasonal workers helping out come May.

We hope this provides a sufficient picture of the players at Whipstone Farm so in the future you will be able to imagine each of us toiling over the soil, as we plan to illustrate in this blog.  Stay tuned for farm updates, garden hints, locally sourced recipes and entertaining anecdotes from people with no other contact to the outside world.
