Some photos of late

It's been so wet for us! And then to spark a little PTSD from the Dec 2025 flood, we flooded again last weekend, though not as badly. On the positive side, many trees and plants that spent 4 weeks covered in water look like they're alive! There is some death, but not as bad as it could have been. And the hay fields are vibrant green from all the flood sediment and nutrients.

Another surprise is that we experimented with using Salal berries and Evergreen Huckleberries in cider last year, and we tasted it yesterday. The color was a rich, ruby red like the Aronia cider, and the flavor was fantastic. We'll definitely be making a native berry cider this season (to be ready for 2027)! We also sampled the Kingston Black, and we may experiment with bottling it this year. It's amazing....! Stay dry, everyone.
