Everyday on the farm involves nature. If you are open and a wee bit lucky you often come face to face with some of her wonders – like this female Rufus hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus) who found herself trapped in one of our polyhouses.
One of the reasons I farm and garden is because it requires direct participation and contact with the natural world. As a young gardener and aspiring naturalist, I was thrilled and inspired by this direct involvement and by the daily discoveries I made. Now as I farm, I am once again filled with wonder and inspiration. More importantly, so are my children.
