Father’s Day is Sunday and I’m looking forward to spending time with family. It feels good to celebrate fatherhood and watch our kids—Maddie and Millie—grow up here on the farm. While we spare them the farm chores, they enjoy the tree plantings, harvests, and of course, the fruits of our labor. They understand that growing sustainable, organic fruits and vegetables is a process that takes time and dedication. And love.
