As the seasons change so does l...ctures from the winter weather.

As the seasons change so does life on the farm. The greenhouse grows empty, the animals dwindle down, but there is still a lot to do for the Carr family. Equipment needs to be maintained, the greenhouse needs to be emptied and prepped for next season, and measures need to be taken to preserve the structures from the winter weather.

With the end of the local farme...fford it also receives a share.

With the end of the local farmer's market during COVID, the Carr's found a way to still serve their community by participating in a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) agreement. The CSA allows members of the community to purchase a share of the farm's harvest in advance. They operate theirs as a not-for-profit, so with each order purchased another family who cannot afford it also receives a share.
