If you follow this blog you may have noticed that recently there are even fewer posts than usual.

To that end I&#8217;ve reposted an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joshvolk.com\/Q%26A\/sharpening.html\">article on sharpening<\/a> that I wrote for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.growingformarket.com\">Growing For Market<\/a> back in 2010. Sharpening is fundamental to tool care and functionality of many hand tools. The article is linked to in the Q&amp;A section of the site.<\/p>\n<p>I made some minor edits to the Links page here. Mostly I added two books to the list. When I did a workshop at MOSES last winter they gave me an excellent book on farm business, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gifttool.com\/shop\/ShopProductDetails?ID=1674&amp;VER=1&amp;LNG=EN&amp;PID=55324&amp;DID=1205\">Fearless Farm Finances<\/a>, so I&#8217;ve added that to the links page.<\/p>\n<p>Another book I added is\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.powells.com\/biblio\/62-9781603427722-0\">Greenhorns: 50 Dispatches from the New Farmers&#8217; Movement<\/a>, which just won a Nautilus Gold Award! I have an essay on tools in there, and there are a lot of other essays that really talk about the realities of what it&#8217;s like to be a young farmer.
