As we do every year around Christmas time – we look back and select our “Top 10 Favorite Photos” taken at the farm throughout the year. Some are selected for the beautiful colors that mother nature provides through all four seasons – while others – like the picture of our first grapes to ever appear in our little vineyard – are simply selected because of their personal meaning.
We would also like to take this time to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year!
And with that – here are our top 10 photos – we hope you enjoy!
Looking across the farm in Mid Simmer
The bright red kernels of our strawberry popcorn drying on the stalks in late September
The bright purple and red blooms of our Sangria ornamental peppers in late July
A brightly colored bowl of our heirloom tomatoes – you simply can’t beat the flavor of heirloom tomatoes!
Santa posing for a picture in front of the barn in December. Growing up, Santa used to stand each Christmas in front Jim’s Dad’s old barn – some of which was recycled into our new barn.
Our first fire in our new fire pit we built this past year.
Freshly canned Apple-Cinnamon Jelly – A new favorite treat and recipe of Mary’s!
A favorite picture of the farm in early fall – it is hard to believe this was all overgrown grass just four short years ago.
The upper pergola in August – this was our first pergola ever built at the farm and remains one of our favorite spaces to enjoy
Our first grapes to form in our little vineyard! Although we pruned many of the starters off this year to encourage stronger growth in coming years – we left these few to see the first fruits of our labor.
