Winter Fun!

So, we are a week into 2021!  How is everyone feeling?  I feel about the same!  I was recently thinking about how people might wonder what farmers do during the “off-season.”  I had no idea before I started working with Chris. Turns out, there is a lot to do!  As they say, there is no rest […]
