Reflections on 10 years
August 1, 2019 – 1:31 pm
Ten years ago a massive hail storm arrived just after we had completed the harvest for the first week of our CSA share pick up.

Thanks be to the Sugar Makers
April 10, 2018 – 11:46 am
That is to the Maple Sugar Makers. Sugaring season is sometimes short, sometimes long, always weather dependent and such a clear marker of the transition between Winter and Spring. We are both thankful to not have good maples on our property to tap and for all those near us that do! […]
