wwoofing at magic forest farm, part 1

i loved going upstate, near albany, to volunteer at magic forest farm. joan mahony, the farmer in charge, is a funny, thoughtful, and honest person, and she put me to work watercoloring and painting signs all around the farm, which is my favorite thing to do. as much as i love to farm abroad, there's something to be said for getting to know farmers closer by...i want to go up in the fall to look for mushrooms!
