SO FAR
STILL TO COME
We started Black Robin Farm and Orchard in 2013. Since then we have done many things. We built a greenhouse, chicken coop, livestock quarters, an outdoor pavilion for volunteers, a grape arbor, erected grain bins, set-up campers for volunteers, built a classroom and studio building, installed a septic system, renovated a cabin, constructed a farmhouse, planted an orchard, several gardens, raised beds, and herb gardens, planted 1500+ perennial edibles, restored 300 feet of stream bank, built-up several hugelkultur berms, raised many great goats, sheep, chickens, rabbits, and pigs, eradicated numerous noxious weeds, taught groups of children about permaculture and homesteading, instructed dozens of volunteers, and started the Bozeman Seed Exchange and the Bozeman Seed Library.
Black Robin has many projects still in the works. We would like to erect one or more tiny 'structures', a straw-bale livestock house, renovate our chicken coop, improve our pavilion and outdoor eating area, plant more perennial crops such as grapes, lavender, and more fruits and berries, eradicate more weeds, build more paths, erect two or three more grain bins, build another greenhouse, construct a masonry fireplace, finish construction of the farmhouse and cabin, raise more animals, expand our permaculture and homesteading classes for kids and families, and create additional seed library locations in Bozeman and elsewhere in Gallatin County.
