Short Mountain Distillery - Spring Planting 2011

The oak buds are as big as a squirrel's ears around here, and that means it's time to plant the corn.
We got a little extra help from the Middle Tennessee Mule Skinners Association when it came to getting our first organic corn crops planted.
Here's some video showing the five mule teams that showed up Saturday April 9, 2011. Each Saturday in April we're hosting local mule teams as we disc and plant 7 acres of corn for the distillery's Fall whiskey and moonshine runs.

When I was a little girl in TX I walked behind my Grandpa plowing with 2 mules. I even helped him plant peanuts! It's one of my favorite memories.

Wish my old buddy was still alive to see this. He started out with horses and mules.

Will there be spring planting on the mountain for 2016? Really would love to watch this in person.

Shouldn't the field have been turned once more or more recently before discing?
