Cold and Crisp

Although it was a wintery day today, it was a beautiful sunny day to go back to the storage bin and collect this week’s veggies.  It occurred to us that we had never really posted any pictures of the storage bin.  Nestled into a hill adjacent to one of the back fields, the storage bin… Read More
