Fall Changes

The feeling of fall has finally settled onto the farm. Cool, damp mornings.  Short days and scattered leaves everywhere. This summer's bounty kept giving way beyond our expectations.  Truth be told, we still have the hanger's on... basil, tomatoes and peppers continue to produce. This week's cold temperatures will most likely put an end to the harvest and allow the soil, animals and people to have a rest through winter.

Last week marked our last farm tour of 2015 with 25 youngsters and their parents from our local Head Start chapter.  The highlight for the 3 - 5 years olds was definitely piglets, with more than one smothered in kisses.  Sharing the love of farming never grows old, but especially not with children. The sheer joy they find in shelling beans, smelling crushed peppermint leaves and searching out freshly laid eggs reminds us time and time again why we fell in-love with farming. Ah, the simple joys.

Thank you to all that supported us through the 2015 growing season!  It has been a wonderful treat to see your faces and feel your farm-love!

Happy Holidays and catch you 'round the bend!
