Liesil welcomed a baby heifer today!

The farm has been inundated with new life over the past few weeks in the form of several calves. But the reality is some of them have been hard labors, and a few stillborns. This lies on our hearts greatly, not for the loss and pain, but out of worry for the next cow that goes into labor. Luckily, Liesil needed no assistance and gave birth perfectly normally, and as of now, her heifer looks to be in good health! So, a small reprieve for the farmers as well ❤️🐄❤️ #cowednesday

Winterberry (Ilex verticillata) is a native holly

Winterberry (Ilex verticillata) is a native holly found in forested and shrubby wetlands. At Hawthorne Valley, there are a few wetlands that support this species, and its red berries are a visual treat this time of year. Although the berries are poisonous to humans, they provide an important winter food source for birds and small mammals.
