Happy 2016 from the farm family to yours! This week we celebrate 2015 in photographs, and get ready to start the cycle all over again in the New Year (after a much needed day off!). A huge thank-you to the farm photographer,
Scott David Gordon. Scott is a real asset to our farm - he's out in the fields every week, rain or shine, to take all of these photos so that we can share this experience with you, our farm's community. Thank you, Scott!
