So, this is my first entry. Welcome, welcome to my blog. My first entry will be short and sweet. My name is Alison. I am embarking on a sort of organic farm odyssey, if you will. Right now I live in Waco, TX, where I am a live-in volunteer at the World Hunger Relief Farm, a Christian organization whose mission is to learn sustainable agriculture methods and teach them to poverty-stricken areas. I live in an old, gusty converted barn with a composting toilet and cake-eating rats that come out at night. Ah, it’s paradise. Just kidding, but I actually do like it. It’s not exactly worthy of a spread in Wallpaper Magazine, I know, but I got used to showering with multiple roaches in Nicaragua every morning, for pete’s sake. Hearing the pitter-patter of tiny rat feet is alright as long as it stays in the kitchen.
My plan is to stay here for two months. Pictures of the farm–dusty road, baby goats and top-heavy kale plants galore–are coming soon.
