We're grateful for the addition of this gorgeous piano at our Michigan house in Ypsilanti, donated this week by a friend of the Farm. We think it looks pretty magical.

A shout out for Apollo from one of our Therapists at the Farm:

"If you haven't been to the Farm and met the friendliest barn cat ever, I highly suggest you do! Not only is he as sweet as a button, he's pretty much a therapy animal for the clients!

I treatment planned with 6 of my clients today in the hoop house, and at the start of the session, one of my folks was feeling pretty irritable. She communicated this irritability both verbally and nonverbally. Of course Apollo came into the hoop house to join us, and he decided to sit by her during the session. He spent the hour and a half cycling between getting pets from her and taking cat naps under her chair. By the end of the session, the client's irritability seemed to have diminished. And I'm pretty confident Apollo had a big part in her mood shifting!

So next time you're at the Farm, if you happen to see Apollo, give him some pets and appreciation for all that he does around here!"

Our Accountant Kenny hand-made these cross-stitches and our friend Jenna purchased them via the Jamboree silent auction! These two met today at the Farm.

We harvested the last of the pumpkins this morning.

In Garden Group we also spent some time in the hoophouse and shared our gratitude for the beautiful blue sky, "green" smell of dirt, and warm sun on our skin.
