Welcome, Jane!

Last week you had the pleasure of reading Jane's post about our honey harvest, which means I am way overdue in introducing her to you. She is our new apprentice and will be here until December.

Jane is from Baltimore and just graduated from high school. Although she's been accepted at a college already, she asked for deferred enrollment so that she could spend a year exploring her place in the world, as she said in her apprenticeship application.

She jumped right into farm life and has been helping with chores, including animal care and goat milking, as well as learning to make a variety of cheeses. She also helped with honey harvesting and processing the beeswax. As you've already discovered she is a talented writer and photographer, even taking her own self-portrait above with Bella the goat!
