Off to the Common Ground Fair
Most of the farmers and two of the horses are off to the fair today! If you go to the fair, look for Andy and Star giving wagon rides with Bill and Ben. Visit the Wednesday Spinners tent and you'll find Cynthia, Liz, and Dave spinning our wool into yarn, Harbor practicing her weaving, and Cedar eating watermelon. I am meeting them there on Saturday night and everyone will be back on Monday. Farm store will still be open till noon on Saturday and will open at 8am Monday. Hope to see you at the Fair!

We will be selling fresh cider in the farm store. Check the fridge when you come in! It's also apple sauce making time. The smell of apples is filling the air!
Forage and Feast
Come to this event where we walk the farm property and learn to identify wild edibles. Along the way we harvest bits of what looks good then bring them all back to the kitchen and make a dinner to share.
