If you feel like there hasn't been a new post on the blog for a month, you'd be right. We have been keeping busy on the farm getting preparations ready to harvest this year's crop. We've also been busy taking care of our expanding family! The Rowley family had two new additions in May, and another on the way! Check back later this week for what's new on the farm, as well as some new recipes to try.
