We wanted to get to know some of our neighbors in our community. We were so excited to learn that there is an actual farm located less than a mile from here. It's called The Talking Farm. Their mission is to educate people about sustainable farming methods, but they don't *just* talk, they encourage people to get their hands dirty, so that's what we did. The team helped move a gigantic pile of wood chips to help beautify the farm for a farm dinner.

But we do love the outdoors too, and we want to thank The Talking Farm for a great experience. It's amazing what you can find right in your own neighborhood.
