Gratitude is a piece of our Regenerative Farming and there is SO much to be grateful for despite the challenges the world faces.

[…]

August 10, 2021 – 4:10 pm
Was it an echo from the barnyard? Yesterday we walked the turkeys… (not to Boston!) to the paddock adjacent to the barn… No, these turkeys appeared to be the wake-up committee, scattered about the barnyard & entire hill pasture, vocalizing awfully close to bedroom windows of our farmhouse, the barn guesthouse and Laura’s folks home!

June 2nd we will re-open the farm for shoppers & visitors, Wednesdays from 3-7 pm.* As we write to welcome you (back) to the farm, the pond full of peepers pierce through closed windows on this chilly night.

This year, as we look towards the traditional Thanksgiving centerpiece of a Turkey, we welcome to the farm their new protector. Two years ago, when we hosted members of the Tri-State area’s R.A.T.S group, they […]
