Fall update from Cedar Isle Farm
October 22nd, 2014 by Cedar Isle Farm
Happy October!
As the greyness becomes dominant in weather forecast, Cedar Isle Farm is in a hurry getting winter grain in the ground. The seeds are sown with our optimism for next season and encouragement of your support for us! Let’s keep our fingers crossed for a productive year ahead.
