WHY WE LIVE HERE – It rained on April 10, but by 7 p.m. at Roozengaarde it was as pretty as a picture. Farmer Dave Hedlin says he is at least two weeks behind in getting his chard, kale and lettuce out of the greenhouse and into the ground. He hardly “turned a wheel in April,” he said. The first half, that is. He’s guessing he will have enough greenhouse cherry tomatoes and lettuces to open his farm stand by Mother’s Day. – Photo by Nancy Crowell
