The winter has been very long and cold in southwest Virginia. The locals tell me that it has been the coldest winter that they can remember and there has been a ton of snow on the ground. Once the snow melts completely and the spring warms the ground, hopefully the pastures will become lush and green with Kentucky fescue. We are in the process of adding some landscaping touches. Of course, this can be tricky since the deer numbers exceed human in Grayson county. My wonderful landscaper assures me that he will plant only those trees and shrubs that the deer find offensive. I have been actively seeking out farmers in Grayson and surrounding counties who produce food animals using humane methods and who grow quality organic produce. It is my desire during the adult camps to serve locally grown and produced, sustainable foods so that all participants will gain an appreciation of eating locally. The pictures were taken this week after the snow started to melt. Will post more as the mountains become greener.
