The hot days of July have been anything but laid back here at the farm. The weeding of the field has been endless, and we were blessed with a wonderful group of volunteers from Church of the Resurrection in Ellicott City, MD, led by youth minister Fernando Cartagena, to help out. While they were at it, they painted the cottage and moved the chicken coop - Carmen even milked our goat S'Mores! Many thanks to Fr. Allen Hoffa for his support and friendship. Thanks also to Mike for his continued work on the chapel.
