CSA Week #3
How cool is this?! While actual owls aren't really the inspiration behind our farm name, we still consider it a good omen every time we see them. This pic is near our Home Plot where Rudy has been hearing owls for many weeks now, but hadn’t actually laid eyes on them till this week. It’1 read more »
