This year’s staff appreciation party was a hoot. You all know sports, right? (You had to be there…)
We definitely could get all of the farm work done with out all of the help and support from our friends and family. The work is endless from planting trees, to mowing grass to pulling trees through the netter and feeding you hot cocoa. My family deserves a medal. Well, how about a wooden trophy, aka the TSF Tree Award presented during out staff appreciation dinner over the summer solstice.
