This year the freeze of fall has come fast and furious.  It all started so slow that to have it all killed dead by frost so early makes it hard to believe that it really is the day and time that it is.  Already the nights are slightly longer than the days.   The hills are covered by snow and the valley floor is a blaze of golden yellows and burnt orange.  Amazing how quickly our thoughts turn to the next season.  That is a must on the farm as now is the time that we can do things that will make next spring more smooth and successful.  So as we remove the dead and plant the cover crops we take note of the good and the bad of this past year.  Every year is different so we try to compare but Mother Nature makes it difficult to ever compare apples to apples, even if they are apples!

A huge thanks goes out to all those who shopped at our farmer market stands, participated in our CSA, and worked on the farm.  We could not do it without all of your support and hard work.  A special thanks to Karl, Caryn, Karina and Siwar without whom this season would not have been possible, thanks.
