Lizz in Ann Arbor showcasing a pointy sweet cabbage in the chilly morning hours
Annnnd we're back at the Ann Arbor Wednesday market for one more week! Lizz brought the goods and it is a warm day! Head on down! This will be our last Ann Arbor Wednesday market until it starts back up in May. This will also be our final week of markets for the year of 2018! We are taking a vacation! We will be back at Ann Arbor Saturday and Eastern Market January 5th.
But before our hiatus, I want to make sure to tell you, we are doing exciting things here at Lake Divide Farm and there are lots of ways to be a part of it. There are two things I want to be sure you know:
  • This is a great time of year to sign-up or renew your farm membership. Find more details here. The basics? Open an account with us, get a bonus, and use your account to purchase produce with us at any of our markets. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask. 
  • We are hiring! We have 3 full-time and 3 part-time positions opening up for the 2019 season. You can find details about the jobs on our website here. If you or anyone you know may be interested, please send us an email or pass along the information. 
Now, about our vacation. This vacation is a little more than a state of mind-style of the summer. We won't be going anywhere and we won't be completelyrelieved of duty. but we will have mental space to read all day, go on walks, be mindful in our meal preparation, and indulge in some hygge (pronounced hooga- the Danish and Norwegian word for a mood of coziness with undertones of wellness!) We are going bring a tree in from out side, adorn it with decoration, string excessive lights inside and out, and set some candles ablaze. We will make crock pots full of soup and heat up cider. We will write letters of gratitude- whether they end up delivered or not- to all the people that have supported us and brought joy, and comfort to us over the last year. We will bundle up and venture outside to observe our quiet but not sleeping, colder world. And we will celebrate the returning of the light. 

The shortest day of the year is upon us again; the great dip in the great light. This winter solstice falls on the coming Friday and coincidentally, the full moon will be gathering about that day as well. For us, the darkest night of the year, represents the beginning of the next growing season. From here on out, daylight hours will accumulate with each trip around the sun. Towards the end of January, our plants will begin to pick up the pace again, packing on biomass for our consumption. For now, we will enjoy the full moon and we hope you do too. Thank you so much for all your support this year. We couldn't do what we do without you.Enjoy any time you get to spend with family and friends and let us all head into the new year together with high hopes and bright faces!
To the FUTURE!

Thanks for sharing the article, and more importantly, your personal experience of mindfully using our emotions as data about our inner state and knowing when it’s better to de-escalate by taking a time out are great tools. Appreciate you reading and sharing your story since I can certainly relate and I think others can to
