We LOVED being back The Yellow Farmhouse yesterday with ladies from the Pathways program Brother Bill's Helping Hand!These women are lovely and gracious and saw the farm with fresh eyes. Heather Dineen did a fantastic job (as usual) sharing her experience and knowledge about commercial farming, healthy eating, and balancing it all as a wife and mom. We look forward to sharing more photos and stories in the next few days.
