Anniversary Thoughts

Soil from the Palmer farm on County K. Sharon, and soil from Spellman vegetable farm on the edge of Beaver Dam! That’s what we poured together 37 years ago Dec.3rd as Tom and I vowed to be the best source of growth we could be for each other. On our anniversary we stop! We say thanks to each of you for the abundant fertility you’ve brought into our lives. You are moving us in the direction of our dreams.
