Granola 200x300 Farmer John says ....The table is set, coffee is out early. We are preparing a farm fresh breakfast. The eggs are warm from the chicken coop headed straight to the kitchen stove. The cherries are picked in the cool morning light. Guests are often seen in the gardens plucking ripe berries off the vine and eating two for every one in the bowl.

If they finish a book while staying here they have the opportunity to exchange or just take another book on the shelf that a previous guest had left behind. The books from the exchange travel the world.   Here’s an even better idea.  We might have to put one up by the farm gate.
