June! The leaves and flowers hinge and arc to track the sun. We orient ourselves to the sun in June too, zipping from field to field and task to task, capturing as much energy as we can during these golden weeks of long days.

Welcome welcome to this new year. The low last night – ten degrees – felt like actual winter instead of the creepy faux-cold we’ve had thus far.

We hosted fifty middle schoolers from the Lake Champlain Waldorf School in Vermont last Thursday. They hiked from the ferry to the farm via the Essex Gateway CATs trail in the humid heat.
