As Bill and Laurie creep towards this baffling concept of 'retirement', mammals on the farm aren't the only living things needing tending.

Although the night-time temps are dropping well below freezing now, the days often get get quite warm, up into the 50's, and all the trees, shrubs, and perennials of the nursery still need watering. Also, the onslaught of winter w**ds begins. The pots in which the ornamental plants grow cannot be allowed to become overrun by their unruly relatives. So, the daily labor routine does not yet ease, and won't until everybody is in their cold frames or otherwise sheltered for the really cold couple of months ahead.

Downsizing the nursery is a major and necessary goal, no less imperative than finding new homes for our horses and pigs. To that end for the first time in 15 years Bill let the summer propagation season pass without cutting and 'sticking' a single green sprig. The goal is usually about 1,000 new plants of various species, which then require 3 or 4 years to reach salable size. So it's rather like stopping a moving train: quitting right now nevertheless will require another three years to sell everything that was propagated LAST year.

Sheesh.

The volumn of plant material to be liquidated can seem overwhelming from a retirement perspective. It is just so much plant material! Bill walks through the nursery frequently, stopping at a block of trees or shrubs lamenting, "Whywhywhy did I grow so many of these?' then a contract comes in taking every one of those trees or shrubs and Bill wishes he had more! It's a little circular trap of supply and demand. The trick is the balancing. Controlling the deconstruction of an activity that required years to construct.

Another retired, previously self-employeed friend observed that the feeling of guilt could be intense - long habits of self-reliance like a powerful magnet drawing one along a familiar course; into rythmic income-producing activities that define the year; but, forbearance is necessary. Retiring, curiously, is similar to building a business in the first place: a concoction of a leap of faith, and confidence in a favorable outrcome.

No one said it was going to be easy either way.

next: all about CBG

Bonnymeed Farm's business collaboration with Butler's Farem Market that ended almost exactly one year ago this month with the loss of a lease, resulted in some gratifying and enduring relationships. The firm handshake forming a partnership between two seperate enterprises offered, for us, a glimpse into a somewhat insular world - that of the Mennonites.

The Mennonites formed in the Netherlands in the early 16th century as part of the European Protestant Reformation. named for their founder Menno Simons. The Mennonites live in our greater society without forming seperate groups (unlike the Amish) but their belief in simple expression of their faith does create a hint of enigma. The Mennonites do not eschew all technology, but they dress simply, and their daily lives are without ornamentation or fancy ceremony.

We recently attended the marriage of Bernice and Lardell, two young Mennonites with whom we became acquainted in 2020. We were pleased to be included, for although Mennonites do not isolate themselves their manner of dress and behaviour has that practical effect. We wondered how many other outsiders would be in attendance.

The wedding was quite unlike any other we have ever attended. Not a flower or bright bouquet in display, no piano playing or trumpeteering, no tables draped with linen cloth, no centerpieces, no ribbons on a wedding arbor, no bridesmaids or best men in attendance. Everyone was dressed similarly, the men and boys wearing black dress coats without collars, white shirts without ties, black slacks and shoes. The women all wore long, pastel dresses with sleeves of various lengths, and white caps covering long hair gathered into buns. Young girls wore their hair in braids. The bride and groom dressed like everyone else. There were about 220 souls seated on plain metal folding chairs in the basement room of a Mennonite school, lined up to allow passage down the center. And to answer the above question, only three 'outsiders' (that includes us) participated.

The ceremony and events preceeding were quite moving. One does not have to ascibe to Mennonite thinking to appreciate the utter simplicity of the liturgy. But the singing! After we opened our hymnals, we were STUNNED to hear such voice raised on high! We looked around, and at each other, wondering from where and how did such a chorus emanate? It is not hyperbole to comment that the singing was better than anything which might have been professioinally recorded.

After Bernice and Lardell pledged their lives to one another (without an exchange of rings; Mennonites wear no jewelry of any sort, not even wedding rings) they moved to the back of the room to receive their guests. Row by row folk lined up to offer congratulations or perhaps a word of advice, singing with amazing voice the whole while before making their way back to their seats.

Once everyone was again seated, out from a side door appeared several girls carrying cafeteria trays of food which they handed to guests in the front row. The trays kept coming and more girls appeared as they progressed down the center aisle, like an uncoiling human bucket brigade, until eventually a dozen or more girls were passing trays from one another to folk in the last row. The simple fare was hot and delicious, served on plastic plates with disposable cups and utensiles. We devoured every morsel: meat balls with mac n' cheese, fruit cup, broccoli salad, ice cream parfait. No alcohol was served, only water.

Entertainment was conversation among the guests. No dancing or toasting or picture-taking. Not one cellphone made an appearance, which is why no photos accompany this post. The celebratory gifts were arranged in an adjoining room for inspection, nothing wrapped, with larger items leaned up against a wall: wheelbarrow, ladder, porch swing, ironing board. Someone made the amusing observation that the women especially enjoyed examining the wedding gifts and indeed, a long line of women with relunctant husbands in tow wrapped around the gift table and out the door. We suspect the husbands weren't really that relunctant.

We hope to continue knowing Bernice and Lardell for a long time. We know at least we'll run into them from time to time in our community of business, like we have this past year with our other Mennonite acquaintances. For no particular reason we feel honored to be acknowleded, included, and welcomed, by this interesting and distinctive cohort.

A colleague of Bill's recently asked, "So, what are you going to do in Italy?"

Fair enough.

He's never been to Italy so he's to be forgiven for even asking that question. With about 60% of the world's cultural resources, doing something in Italy is as easy as breathing.

However, under the Shengen visa rules governing travel to the 27 EU countries, a visitor may only stay for a maximum of 90 days out of every 180. It is possible to receive permission to remain in the EU for an extended period, but only for a maximum of 180 days, then that's it for the year. All of the ports of entry in Europe are connected so the day one enters any EU country the clock starts ticking. And you can't move around from one country to another to reset the clock. You have to leave the EU entirely for 90 days. (Or for six months if you received permission to stay for a 180 day stretch.)

This particular rule now governs all the decision-making at Bonnymeed Farm. The issues become how to juxtapose all the farm goings-on with the most amount of time spent in our new Italian home. The universe in its benign wisdom is already helping us out: our Mennonite partners more than a year ago lost their lease so we were forced to close our retail nursery outlet; and Covid-19 wreaked havoc on our horse-and-carriage business, so it's gone too.

The loss of both these little businesses was disturbing. Retrospectively, perhaps their ruination contributed to the unanticipated idea of 'retirement'. It certainly became easier to decide on a foriegn property purchase with these two irons removed from the fire. Two small businesses remain: the nursery business which fuels Bill's contracting activities, and the growing of h**p for CBG which by and large is Laurie's purview now. Can our activities supporting these 'micro' businesses be successfully coordinated with EU travel restrictions?

We're going to try. Meanwhile, nobody's giving up the farm, nobody's moving permanently out of the country, nobody's quitting work.

Yet.

Solving the retirement puzzle at Bonnymeed Farm is like feeling one's way in the dark through a strange room. We really have no clue what obstacles to expect. After a lifetime of self-employment, we can't just shut it all down on a certain date and move to Italy. That's not really the goal, anyway
The biggest conundrum is what to do with the living creatures who call Bonnymeed Farm home. Anyone owning animals knows they are sentient, perhaps not self-aware, but definitely with a world view to which they are sensitive, and for which we bear a great responsibility.

Would anyone find it surprising to know our fences are as much for protecting our critters as for confining them? They all know, every single chicken or pig, goat, horse or dog, where they live. Occasionally one or more of them break the farm barriers and go for a walk, much to the consternation of neighbors or passers-by. Over the years we have responded to numerous door knocks informing us somebody is 'out' - well, most of our animals come when called especially if they're tired from exploring. One early morning a stranger tapped on our door to tell us our horses were 'in the road' - it was only our giant Patch, standing at the end of the driveway peering into a carload of no doubt intimidated humans. "Patch!" we shouted and he came trotting to be let in the paddock gate.

Currently it's Myrna, our momma pig, who has figured a way out to wander about a little. She prompts phone calls or texts, but we remain unconcerned. She is very slow on her walks but eventually makes it onto our back patio where she patiently waits to be let back into her enclosure.

Our responsibilities to these thinking (yes, thinking) perceptive animals include protecting them no matter where our best-laid plans take us, or when. No matter what, our fellow residents of Bonnymeed Farm must be cared for properly. We know it might take a long time, maybe never, before we find suitable homes for everybody. So, the juxtaposition of Bonnymeed Farm and Italy becomes one of timing. How or when can we spend time at our home in Orvinio while ensuring our animals are safe and sound here in West Virginia?

The best option remains rehoming everybody (except our little dog, Minnie!). We have begun that process. The first ones to be claimed are our mini horses, Barca and Button, who moved to nearby Soul Food Farm. They join resident pygmy goats, a Great Dane, and a couple of cats. We know owner Sarah will be a great caregiver.

We are prepared to maintain Bonnymeed Farm until everything shakes out favorably, which will happen eventually, of course. In the meantime we'll juggle. There are some legal issues to consider which will actually help us rather than hinder us moving forward, but for the moment it's all about the critters.

Next: some of those legal issues

Laurie's cerulean eyes widened with suprise and alarm when the subject of retirement first presented itself.

"Never, ever, in all our decades of working and planning together, never, has this been discussed," she said.

She is correct. As she observed to a friend by way of partial explanation, "What does retirement mean when you're already living the dream?"

Indeed. It is not hyperbole to say our adventures at Bonnymeed Farm have been deeply satisfying. We wanted something like this lifestyle from almost our first days together as man and wife. However, is a dream fulfilled a dead end? It's been nearly 26 years since we undertook this project and suddenly, this year, for the first time, our quotidian efforts began to seem a little - routine.

A shift of the light occurred! Like a kaleidoscope our progressing years have rearranged our expectations for ourselves. We don't want to quit working; lifting a worthy burden provides a framework of purpose; what seemed to be needed was an entirely new tangent.

What could we do to rock our world but not destroy it? How could we eliminate the toil we now observed in our day-to-day activities but keep all the rewarding tasks like growing h**p or ornamental plants? How could we more efficiently compartmentalize our responsibilities and fit in a new dream, one that would engage us for this last 1/3 of our lives?

So we bought a second home in Italy! Not just like that, but the idea came up almost immediately and after months of due diligence we made a successful offer, sight unseen, on a beautiful apartment in a beautiful village just 64 kilometers from central Rome. The process was not and is not for the faint of heart, but we are not exactly shrinking violets in the face of risk and we were richly rewarded for taking a chance. (As we have always been.) We settled on our new home in September.

If you want to see what we got ourselves into, go to 'Still Wanderer - Walking tour of Orvinio, Italy' and be sure to watch the drone intro.

Next: solving the puzzle

Our 2021 h**p crop is harvested and drying on racks in our barn. This year's crop will most likely buck out with less pounds than 2020 but we managed to increase cannabinoid percentages by 50%, so we'll do as well or maybe better than last year.

We grew a h**p cultivar, Lavender, to produce CBG. We purchased all-female clones that we planted out in 7 gallon containers with individual irrigation emitters. No seedlings so we worried much less about male plants pollinating the crop. Also no cultivars producing CBD, which went 'hot' on us last year and had to be destroyed. Going hot means the THC level in h**p exceeds 3%, thus becoming reclassified as ma*****na. H**p plants grown for CBD going hot is a major problem in the industry. Some proposals to raise the allowable THC percentages have been put forward but for the time being every grower faces the real possibility of crop loss after months of hard work and investment.

However, CBG strains almost never go hot. CBG is called 'the mother of all cannabinoids' with other cannabinoids being derived from an acidic form of CBG. CBG h**p is trickier to grow with timing of harvest being critical since CBG levels increase rapidly as the plant grows then degrades just as rapidly. Wait too long and you lose potency. We've tested our crop a couple times during the growing season to moniter CBG levels and we'll know soon exactly how well we did.

Growing h**p and manufacturing a variety of products from it may be a crucial component of our retirement plan. Wait - retire, yet cultivate an extremely labor-intensive crop requiring lierally months of effort and attention?

Well, there is a huge difference between labor and toil. To us, right now, though our attitudes may evolve, retirement means eliminating toil - feeding all the animals every day, twice a day; rebuilding the fences that one of our horses, Patch, destroys (it's his hobby); cleaning out the chicken coop. So yes, our 'retirement' will include productive labor, enjoyable, challenging, and rewarding efforts, while we strive to eliminate toil. The trick will be to arrange our lives so that we can maximize our time away from the farm, and still engage in our chosen productive activities here in Shepherdstown. No doubt it will require a year or more to accomplish. But this effort will be doubly sweet because our lifestyle now is already gratifying (even at its most difficult) and, we'll be working toward an end game that is simply outstanding.

Chchchanges!
We're going to try to pick up the Bonnymeed Farm narrative again now that the time of covid seems to be passing, or at least many folk are becoming weary of the fear of it.

The past 18 months have been a long hard slog for us residents of Bonnymeed Farm. We had to close, after almost 10 years our horse-and-carriage business, first, because the National Park Service shuttered Antietam National Battlefield for an extended period of time last year, and second, because our beautiful Shepherdstown canceled all of its public celebrations, from the July 4 parade, thru its annual summer Contemporary American Theater Festival, fall Boofest, and early winter Christmas in Shepherdstown. All these sites and activities contributed to an engaging business whirl both challenging and rewarding. We hear rumors of a return to normal this Christmas season but it's too late. Bonnymeed Farms horse-and-carriage business is a covid casualty. Considering all the destruction wrought on countless other businesses, we got off light.

Our retail plant nursery operation has ended as well. Not because of covid, however. Our wonderful Mennonite partners had their farm market business destroyed by their landlord's sale of property, which included the leased site where the Mennonites sold their products., Just like that. 60 days notice. What a hectic scene ensuing, both for our Mennonite friends and us as we hurried to remove or sell all the inventory. Mennonites, remember, don't engage in civil process so they left without a fight. The owners seemed almost blithe.

We considered transfering our business model to another farm market but decided against it. In a perfect storm of circumstance and frustration we concluded it was time to begin removing some irons from the fire. The cosmos seemed to be whispering to us. Ignore the hints at one's peril.

Now, this metaphysical type of thinking may seem nonsensical to many folk, but it can be useful when navigating the shifting sands of a self-determined lifestyle, which absolutely defines life at Bonnymeed Farm.

Then arrived 2021. The awful political gaslighting following January 6 was disconcerting, at best, offensive, effectually. Shifting sands, shifting meditations, shifting conclusions. This wonderful lifestyle at Bonnymeed Farm seemed grow a bit - toilsome. This new idea of toil was born of the destruction caused by covid, and the poison of a curious polictical rancor we've never experienced before. Gradually it seemed time for a change. A new word entered the Bonnymeed Farm lexicon of ideas: retirement.

Next: accomplishing it.

We have grown an outstanding h**p crop.

We'll soon know if that statement is anything other than conjecture. Last week an official from the West Virginia dept. of Agriculture drove all the way from Charleston (at our expense) to take samples of our crop for compliance testing.
He moved through our 400 plants clipping huge pieces of the best colas (flowers) from each strain, enough to fill a paper lunch bag 3/4 full. It was painful to watch.

He meticulously noted the design and location of our crop, even the outlying plants elsewhere in the nursery. Every h**p plant had to be accounted for. He labeled and sealed each sample bag and filled out paperwork which Laurie signed. Then he handed us a big bill. We have to pay for everything.

We have three strains. One is Lavender Kush, grown for its CBG content. The parent plants tested out at over 15% CBG so we're hoping for similar results if we did everything right. CBG works to fight pain, inflammation, nausea, and helps to slow the proliferation of cancer cells. Other uses include reducing intraocular eye pressure caused by glaucoma and relieving symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease.

Another of our strains is TrumpX. Its parent plants tested out at almost 13% CBD, which is the better known cannabinoid that seems to be for sale everywhere. CBD can reduce pain, but it also reduces anxiety and depression.

Our third strain is Dawg, grown from seedlings so right now we have no clue as to its CBD content. But it looks good and we of course expect it to have reached its potential.

Our plants are fat with enormous colas that we almost can't believe. These are literally the best h**p plants we have seen, and we have seen plenty over the past two seasons. A little brag but a lot of fact! As we trim away the fan leaves in prep for a late October harvest it just gets better and better. It's hard not to get excited and count the chickens before they hatch. But shortly we shall know. When those test results come back from the state, our operation will kick into high gear as we decide how to process and which products to make.

This whole enterprise is just plain interesting (to us anyway) challenging and fulfilling. Now that we're all in (poker-speaking) it's impossible to imagine NOT doing this.

A few days ago we visited beautiful RoundAbout Farm, so named because the Yadkin River sharply arcs through the historic property.

Owned by friend Hanes Chatham and his brothers, RoundAbout Farm's 700 acres is located on the eastern slope of the continental divide in northwest North Carolina. The Carolinas' (both north and south) piedmont offers some of the most gorgeous scenery on the planet. Hanes hosted us at his home in Roaring Gap smack on top of the divide, several thousand feet above the Yadkin valley. What a view!

Hane's nephew Grantham has three acres of h**p growing at RoundAbout Farm, hence the purpose (aside from the personal pleasure of Hane's company) of our venture. The h**p industry is evolving more or less chaotically, with few processors and limited wholesale markets, so the chance to compare and share strategies can be invaluable.

It is our belief that h**p and h**p products should be grown and marketed as a boutique commodity, similar to the local wineries, breweries, and distilleries that have popped up everywhere. It does make perfect sense. In this day of mass markets and anonymous living, who doesn't love their own community and the craftspeople living there? As Dawn Gordon (another friend and h**p farmer) says, "Everybody loves a story!"

So Grantham graciously explained his branding and marketing plans and showed us his grow. His h**p plants are under ground plastic with drip irrigation so they look very different from ours, in containers with emitters as the irrigation source. Grantham's plants are wildly branched and 6ft tall, while ours are tight and compact, with limited but heavy colas developing. Divergent growing techniques, but as noted in an earlier post, who cares about appearance as long as the full genetic potential for the production of cannabinoids (except THC) is reached?

We are very happy to have established another friendship in this nascent h**p fraternity. It is refreshing to be among a group of entreprenuers collaborating, freely exchanging information, and sharing dreams.
