Chris & John Bozak

Holiday greetings to all of our farm friends! It's been a while since our last newsletter and we thought we would bring you up to date with what is happening on the farm.

We took a nice vacation this fall with our group of Maine farmers. We toured Maine up through Quebec City, then over to Vermont through New Hampshire and back home visiting several dairy farms, a goat farm, Cabot cheese, an elk and a bison farm, several greenhouse operations and a maple syrup operation.

Take a walk next year on the new woods trail.

Take a Walk in the Woods

Next summer when you come to the farm, take a walk in through the woods. We have spent several weeks cutting trees, removing rocks and stumps, and filling holes. All to make our forest road wider and more accessible. We plan to use it this winter as our X-country ski trail.

Signs of Winter

The horses, Buddy and Jack, have acquired a thick coat of hair, the bees are all snuggled in their hive, and the woodshed is full. John is settled in next to the stove with a huge stack of books while Chris is busy knitting socks and mittens and is only thinking about making jams for next summer.
