Hey y’all I know I skipped a few months but I had to collect my thoughts before I wrote the promised post about our journey to a truck. It has really gotten me thinking about how farmers tend to have more than one truck and made me thankful for them even more. Don’t quite understand- well bear with me for a few minutes and you will soon learn. Let’s begin with our why behind the truck. As I mentioned before I drive a Chevy Malibu but before that I had a GMC Acadia. When we went to buy Continue Reading

The picture could become either a part of your Christmas Continue Reading

Today will be the first post that I will be talking about being in the shoes of a farmer. We arrived at Skytop Orchard on a Friday afternoon. I checked the website and they said weekdays were better to pick because on the Continue Reading
