Reading Time: 8 minutesI’ve just returned from an amazing trip to New England this past week, my first-ever trip to that part of the country. I spent four full days traveling through western Massachusetts, eastern Vermont, and the very western edge of New Hampshire, taking part in the 25th annual Franklin County Cider Days.

When daylight begins to appear before 5 am, and stays light past 9 pm, it feels like everyone is awake all the time. I tend to … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 7 minutesCan something be exhausting yet invigorating? If so, that’s how I would describe the two weeks I spent traveling across the Midwest, from eastern Iowa to western Michigan, back to central Iowa, and then home again. Being away from home and driving nearly 1300 miles over the course of a nine day period was exhausting, … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 5 minutesI’ve managed to find a brief moment during this busy time to collect my thoughts and reflect on all of the entrepreneurial activities of which I’ve been a part recently. This is probably the last break in the action I’ll have until the end of May. A week from now, I’ll be on the road … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 4 minutesTaxes have been filed, snowblower put away, and the sounds of farm equipment can be heard outside the opened window of my home office.
