Great photos, Jane. (Thanks to Mom) Is that Floyd Snyder driving Kit and Bess (with Artie riding bareback) to spread the manure?
Took me a year to get here but that is Floyd Snyder at the reins.
What fun looking at these pictures! And congratulations on getting the organic certification! Hope to see you this weekend. Len and I will be coming to beautiful Potter County in the truck. I'll call and see if you want me to take some plastic trash off your hands... and maybe some nice lettuces if you have some. Love, Simone
