Spring News

Newest Nesting Update

It’s nesting season! Every year we watch out for killdeer nests in our growing grounds. They nest on the ground amongst our granite gravel. You can always tell when we’re getting close because the adults try to lure us away by pretending to be an injured bird and making a lot of noise. Can you spot the eggs in the second photo?
