A lovely and talented group of food and drink artisans joined us atop Mt. Warner at the Carr's Ciderhouse orchard in Hadley, MA. It was a perfect day among the cider apples, children and people who love what they do and make. Here are a few shots from the day. Thank you to all who participated and make the trek to the hilltop looking over the Pioneer Valley.
