Shep's Pumpkin Patch
It's that time of year again. The colors are changing. There's a hint of fall in the air and the cool nights feel better for sleeping. Shep's pumpkin harvest is underway and the orange and white fruits are stacked up on the wagon, ready for eager fall enthusiasts. As he's do1 read more »
Rainbow Diet
Standing amongst the vegetables at the peak of the season the eye can behold every color of the rainbow. When we have the pleasure of eating from this vegetable rainbow our diet is literally glowing with sunny shades of every hue, (from the palest creamy yellow to the deepest indigo blue)! &n1 read more »
