Spring Planting Day 2013

On Saturday, May 11, we had a great crowd who embraced the rain, listened to Dar Williams play guitar and talk about her passion for honey bees, and when the rain let up a bit, all made their way into the garden to plant bee-friendly flowers. Later in the afternoon, our two sheep, Priya and Yahtnah, escaped into Farmer Bob’s fields and kept up a very good chase before evading the staff and visitors by swimming across the pond. At last, we caught them! They seemed relieved to be back in their space on the farm.
