honey bees & apple trees

In 2005 my in-laws retired from their respective careers in the Metro Detroit area and moved down home to enjoy simple country living on a small organic farm.

Each year we travel down to the farm to help out and to enjoy family, food, and farming on the big hill in the Ohio Valley.
