It has been a year since we experienced a tragic fire that awoke us at 4:15 in the morning. Our farm building burned to the ground and our dear friend Kelsey, who was visiting for a few days, perished in the fire. We are still heartbroken, still trying to cope with the loss.
Our community rallied around us in every possible way after the fire. Folks brought food, hugs, sent cards, ran errands, and donated to the farm. Volunteers came out of the woodwork and helped weekend after freezing cold weekend to rebuild our farm building. The support we received from our surrounding and greater community helped us cope with our trauma and loss. They helped us see a path forward.
We are eager to finish our wash/pack space and grow room this winter so we can get back to growing efficiently for our community. Our community helped us get back on our feet and we plan to be around for them long into the future…
