No News is Good News?

Wow, can’t believe it’s been over two weeks since our last blog post! Let’s just say that “Finals Week + Tons of Homework + College News ≠ Blog Posts Galore!” But now we’re second semester seniors, so it’ll be more like “Less Homework + Easier Schoolwork + More Free Time = Lots of Blog Posts!” Sounds good to me!

So as we’ve basically already explained, we haven’t really worked on our senior project much recently. Besides writing up and submitting our Final Proposal (cross your fingers that there’s no issues with our senior project so that we can continue working with our farming concept), and contacting Limoneira (who we left a message for about touring their facilities…and have yet to receive a response from) in addition to a dairy processing plant (who is located 6+ hours away by car – I guess we can cross that one off our list) we’ve spent most of our time focusing on non-senior project (but still school related) things!

For now though, the only thing we haven’t updated you on is more about Limoneira, previously mentioned above.  If you’re like me and you like puzzles and/or looking for roots within words (…first my interest in farming, and now my interest in word roots? This blog is making me feel slightly dorky), Limoneira is probably self-explanatory (especially if you take or speak Spanish!), but if you’re not seeing it I’ll help you out: LIMONeira.  Yep, it’s a lemon (limon?...lemon? close enough) farm (orchard? factory? place with a bunch of lemon trees?)…well they also have oranges and avocados, but that’s beside the point. Anyways, I’m going to let Kristy type up a more detailed post about Limoneira for those of you who are curious since she is our “Produce Expert” (since we are doing a group project we had to justify why we needed two people doing it, so we decided that Kristy will focus on produce while I focus more on livestock). She’s also been to the lemon farm before so I guess she’s a “Lemon/Limon Expert” too!
