The first time I got to this farm, I asked myself, \u201cHow much hard labor did these people do to create such a wonderful place?\u201d and this thought made me dive into the history of this farm, which showed me that you need to work really hard to succeed in something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gary, Patty and their two children moved to the farm in 1985 and waited for the first trees to mature. Just as the trees were ready to bear fruit, however, the orchard was completely destroyed by round-headed apple-tree borers, small beetles that make tunnels in an apple tree\u2019s trunk and disrupt its ability to move water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their family\u2019s dream seemed to be slipping away. But they still had each other, and together, we can do anything. With faith and determination, they replanted, by 1995, their sold our first apples, and now they grow not just apples, but pumpkins, blueberries, raspberries and many more fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second visit in the summer made me think how the fielsd has shifted with the season. Where once the ground was covered in orange dots of pumpkins – now the rows of berries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It stuck with me how each season farm and harvest tells a different story of the soil itself. The farm feels alive every season of the year going through drastic transformation. The circle of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the earth is offering its harvest in cycles, just like Yin and Yang, the goats, are showing harmony in contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
