98 yr old volunteer, Vance’s latest addition above the garden gate.

Sheep shearing, goat castrating, buzzing honey bee keeper, kid-friendly, tomato trellising, Young Farmers of America director at  Bowden High School, and a tenured ag teacher for Carroll County, Ryan Ayers (wife Andy) and his four children, whose oldest daughter is a camp counselor at God’s Farm, came to deliver organic, odor-full, fertilizer for the educational and production gardens for UCLife today. Ryan has been a ready resource for UCLife with many helpful tips, and we are so grateful. Don’t get caught throwing rocks in the garden at each other, or he’ll make you eat an unripened, bitter blackberry as punishment.

This is the same man that Caiden addressed, “Please, let me have that white labradoodle puppy” in a letter last summer. That’s water lily eating “Lincoln.”

Water lily eating, “Lincoln.”
