Norma Burns
Norma Burns, wife of the late great Bob Burns, received a small business loan for her Bluebird Hill Farm project. A little about the farm from their site:
Bluebird Hill is a small farm where Norma Burns specializes in growing herbs, specialty vegetables, cut flowers, native plants, value-added farm crafts and food products. We incorporate the principles of permaculture to maximize the use of space in our raised beds.
The move, which Triangle Business Journal mentioned this morning, is part of ShadeFund, a joint project of the US Conservation Fund and the US Endowment for Forestry and Communities.
Since Bob’s untimely death in 2005, I have been looking for an excuse to go out and meet Norma, and check the garden out. My wife and I take our fresh vegetables pretty seriously, and it would be an honor to help make Norma’s dreams a reality. Anyone with the initiative and drive to take on such an extensive project deserves my business, and yours too.
