Everyone Laughed at His 35 Dwarf Goats — Until They Cleared the Slope to a Buried Apple Grove

Everyone Laughed at His 35 Dwarf Goats — Until They Cleared the Slope to a Buried Apple Grove The morning the goats arrived was a Tuesday in April of 2011, the kind of morning where the fog sits so low and thick in the hollows it looks like you could walk out on it. The air had that clean, cold smell of damp earth just starting to think about warming up for the season. I was 68 then, and I’d seen enough Aprils on this piece of ground to know that a fog like that meant the soil was holding its winter chill deep down, but the surface was ready. Ready for something.irst paragraph of script. #TheQuietFarmer #HeirloomCorn #SeedContest #CountyFair #OpenPollinated #OldFarmTales
