It’s that time of year again when Mark starts gathering ingredients for his famous oatmeal cookies and Jan looks for her coleslaw recipe. With the pandemic we are planning a gathering on Sunday after Thanksgiving, November 29 at 3:00 p.m. EST. We will gather to catch up,  share surviving the pandemic stories, make a group photo,  (one with masks and one without)  and have our annual farm meeting.  Bring your favorite dessert .  I hope everyone will come.  Please send me an email at abrawls@gmail.com and I will send you Zoom credentials.

Here is a full sized photo of the 2016 Thanksgiving group suitable for cropping and printing.  Click on the image and then click again to enlarge it.  Then right click on it and “save as” to your computer.  The image should be about 7 MB.  If you don’t click on it twice before you right click to save,  it will be small.

We’ll post this framed photo on the wall at the farm with the other group photos.
