Under the Weather — Weekend Meditation
Reply
A nasty cold has stolen most of my energy and focus this weekend.

A Day in the Life of a Farm — A New Generation on the Farm
One thing I’ve learned after a few weeks of following Katie and Amanda of Amber Waves Farm is that an average day for them is not so “average.” In mid-June, early into the harvest season at this CSA farm in Amagansett, NY, I took on the task of following them from sun up to sun down.

Come walk along with me in a day on the farm!
