Hi friend,

Are you still harvesting blooms? Or have you left the last few for the pollinators to build their winter stock? It's always bittersweet when the season comes to an end - but we're also looking forward to a bit more rest.

As a board we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Loretta Clayson of Journey Farm for serving as our Vice President over the last 2 and half years. Loretta is a wonderful friend, supportive team mate, and talented farmer. We will miss her wisdom and kindness on the board. As her resignation comes a little shy of our upcoming elections, the board has appointed Mollie Payne to fill the Vice President position until the results of our upcoming election. If you are interested in learning more about the election, please read this forum post and the attached file.

We have some great learning opportunities coming up over the next couple of months.
