We have been busy lately, in a good Springtime sort of way! The farm is green, we have lots of veggies in the ground, and the wildflowers are just beginning to bloom. Our good friend and professional photographer Rory Thompson came out with her camera a few days ago and took some beautiful pictures, some of which I’ve shared below here. If you’d like to come out and see the farm for yourself, we’re going to be having an Open Farm day and Easter Egg Hunt this coming Saturday, April 23, the day before Easter. We would be glad to show you what’s growing around the farm and how the chickens are doing. We may even have a baby goat by then! Children are welcome for the Easter egg hunt, and I hope a few will come because I have very fond memories of Easter egg hunts on the property when I was growing up. The grass is between 1 and 3 feet high, so the eggs will be well-hidden. We will also have an egg carton decorating station for kids to make egg carriers as pretty as their eggs. Everything is free, but we do ask that you please bring some of your own decorated or filled eggs to share if you want to participate in the egg hunt.
Open Farm 12:00-4:00
