A little follow up on two previous posts.
The first being our visit to Windmill Point Farm last Saturday with a few close friends.  Getting to know your farmer made easy.  Stop by any Saturday and chat with the owners of a gorgeous, all natural, massive piece of land on Ile Perot.  Ask Ken about his […]
