Bodega & Community Bloggette - Bodega, California

The theme for this this month’s edition is: Who We Value – Family, Friends & Community. Some of the topics I want to cover, well, it’s a bit of a circuitous route in finding passage back to the theme, but as with all journeys, it begins with the first step, so, here we go.

Jobs!

There will be a great need for shearers in a few months, and Sonoma County is sadly lacking in qualified people.  Last count there were only four, and we have to import them from New Zealand.

Shop Spotlight
