   Today both Nidia and I got the opportunity to meet with the farmer and talk about plans for the smaller garden located behind the primary building. We decided that it would be in everyone's best interest to work on something that would make this project a little more challenging. The organic garden will have raised beds of more sustainable plants that would allow us to effeciantly produce whatever we decide to plant. The farmer agreed on helping us brainstrom on the design of the garden we will be working on for the next 6 months. It makes me wonder how we didnt think of  talking to him sooner, the farmer seems really willing to have our help and is very welcome to us wanting to get the Idea student body involved. Tomorrrow we made plans to help him work on some projects he has in mind for the big garden. This way we can get an idea of the amount of work this will potentionally take. And also we want to build a relationship with the farmer so he knows that we have the drive and dedication to make this happen.
