It's spring!

Spring is a time to think about the renewal and rejuvenation of life. It's  also a time to re-examine how we plan to live our lives going forward. This spring brings unexpected  challenges for all of us, as we deal with the COVID-19 global pandemic.

We are watching our farm spring back to life! We have been pruning apple trees, as pictured above. Trimming the growth reduces the number of rubbing branches and yields larger apples. We have more than 15 varieties of apples in production. We will plant even more varieties this spring.

Our goal this year is to share more about our farm and its activities. We don't know if, or when, we will might see you at a Farmers Market this year. But we still have grass-fed Belted Galloway beef for sale, along with honey, apple butter, and blackberry jam. All of these products originate on our small family farm!

Contact us by email or text if you need some wholesome locally-sourced comfort food in these troubling times. Stay safe and healthy, and take care of your family and friends.
