Anybody know a good spring song? I feel like adapting ‘She’ll be comin’ round the Mountain’, because winter felt so big to get past this year. I keep reminding everybody how fortunate we are to have farmers that feed us all year long. This season has started off with more than its share of challenges, and it takes a lot of determination and courage to keep going when you don’t know what the weather is going to do next.
Everdale is coming into town with a load of carrots, rutabaga, storage turnips, fresh radish bunches, arugula, salad mix, spinach, and probably fresh salad turnips bunches too! GO WOLF!
