Family and Farm Day

Two sheep in the tall spring grass, one grazing and one curious about the visitor.
Sheep graze beneath an old apple tree in the orchard.Seeds carved with tiny trees and patterns, seen through the lens.
Bags of grain and a few roots wait in a basket at the cooking demo.
Steady hands ready the microscope that put seeds up on the big screen.An artist bends to the microscope, the work on the screen beside him.
Racks of lettuce starts wait at the farm store, the Sale signs hand-lettered.
A pot of green herb sauce gets a stir at the cooking demonstration.Grains and greens come together in a red pot.
The two cooks behind the demo table pose with their pots in front of the hoop houses.
The cooks hand out tastes to the kids crowding the table.A small hand drops seeds into a paper boat of soil.
The tractor driver waits at the wheel, ear protection on, for the next load of riders.
Riders wave from the wagon as it passes the pond.Arms flung wide, the storyteller reaches the best part, and the kids on the blankets are right there with her.
A wave from the golf cart, parked beside an old fieldstone wall.
A visitor works the strings of a handmade wooden ball game on the lawn.Smoke rolls up from the grill and swallows the cook whole.
Flames lick the meat on the grill as the tongs go to work.
A tent flap goes up, opening a view across the lawn to the farm buildings.A giant chess set waits on the lawn between two sheepskin benches.
From above, Glynwood's fields and barns roll out toward the hills on Family and Farm Day.
Families gather on the lawn beneath the old farmhouse, the day in full swing.The farm from above, with barns, hoop houses and a pond tucked into rolling pasture.
A tractor pulls a wagon full of riders along the pond, past the big maples.
Picnic tables fill up across the lawn beyond the garden.A line forms at the pizza tent in front of the white barn.
The main house and its lawn fill with visitors, the lake just past the tree line.
Stone walls and fenced paddocks run down the hill toward the farm buildings.A small wooded island sits in the middle of a lake, forest on every shore.
The whole valley in one view: fields, greenhouses, the lake and the wooded ridges around them.
Through a peeling window frame, an old glass greenhouse holds a table and chairs.A woman lines up her cornhole toss on the lawn below the greenhouse.
An old apple tree leans over the split-rail fence at the edge of the orchard.
Cider tasting under the trees, poured from a table crowded with bottles.A warm welcome at the check-in table.
A volunteer in a green hat offers a tray of snacks by the pasture fence.
A boy leans on the fence rail to watch the flock under the apple trees.A farmer in a wide hat and red plaid smiles at the edge of the sheep pasture.
A man grins over an armful of plant starts and rhubarb.
Seedlings fill the tables inside the hoop house.The tractor driver glances back on the lane beside the pond.
All smiles on a hay bale at the back of the wagon.A singer strums her ukulele from an Adirondack chair on the lawn.
