We started with bare ground—literally—in March, completed one of our greenhouses in April, and began the subscription farm season in June. It’s kept all of us, but mostly Steve, hopping almost all year. We’ve had to adjust to the increased activity around here, but we are all proud of what we’ve accomplished.

Come summer, the fields were full of crops.
