How to effectively soak up the summer
As July comes to a close and we look forward to one more month tucked into the pocket of summer, we want to challenge you to cut loose. Savor the season with less worry and way more fun. As farmers, we’ve learned to appreciate and taste what each season has to offer. This has brought a unique abundance to our lives that we will never stop nurturing. Once you’ve learned to live out loud appreciating all the simple qualities of life outdoors, you never go back. This is the eyes wide open, chasing the sunset, wind blowing, soul singing, dirt-covered hands, completely alive life we’ve always wanted. And you don’t have to be a farmer to live it. For the rest of the summer, we challenge you to fully soak it up!
