farm tour retrospective

When we first arrived, the land buzzed with silence. Snow fell, hail fell, rain fell. The clouds passed in heavy formations above. The world woke up to spring. We hauled hot rocks into the greenhouse to keep the little starts warm. We busted ourselves raking, shoveling, tilling--making the beds for the summer's bounty.

A look back in pictures of where we started this year and how far we've come (see post below!)
