		<description><![CDATA[Fruit farms in our neck of the woods have their own season.  It's called "frost season", aptly named because this is the season when the temperatures warm up, the fruit buds begin to bloom and any night, freezing temperatures can eliminate a good portion of a fruit crop.  Frost season generally begins at the end

Now that most of the snow has melted off the lawn, we can see the plastic, foil and coffee filters our dog has deposited over the last four months.  Our twelve wind machines have been serviced and are ready for

Now we are full swing in apples, apples, apples, pears, plums and heirloom tomatoes. We grow twenty-two varieties
