Final EK Farm Visit of the Year

Our farm visits are over for the year. Our project for the last couple of visits has been to tend to the farm's ornamental garden. We have weeded, pruned and cleaned up the garden in preparation for the upcoming wedding season - a very important aspect of the farm's operations. We even used trimmed fan palm fronds to create a "privacy screen" around the garden, attaching them to the fence with zip ties.

Overall, it's been a great year of farm visits once again! We look forward to next year's adventures!! Here is a montage of our last two trips for you to enjoy.
