It’s been two months since we last shared all that is happening at Holcomb Farm, which means there is so much to share: more than we could ever convey in our monthly Drummer installment (for which we are immensely appreciative). We hope you have found—or will find—time to visit us and experience our beautiful farm and trails for yourselves.

What is your favorite barnyard animal? Choices include chicken, cow, donkey, goat, horse, pig and sheep.

Animal lovers’ favorites are not debatable.
