Together, Denise & Bennett have teamed up to bring two agricultural books to life:
"Penelope Pumpkin" was released in the Summer of 2021 and tells the story of how pumpkins grow. Check it out here.
"Are They Ready Yet, A Strawberry Story From A Pennsylvania Farm" was released in June of 2023. Check it out here!
And if you've visited our farm, you most likely met the Farm Cat, Vivian. Vivian appeared at the Farm one day in 2017 and promptly decided it was to become her new home. After several unsuccessful attempts at relocating the new cat, Denise adopted her into her family. Little did Denise know, Vivian was going to surprise her with a litter of kittens a few weeks later! This is why you might hear one of her many nicknames, "Mama Viv." For the past six years, Vivian loves to be down at the Farm. When you visit us, you may see her riding in the Farm truck, happily looking out the window. Her other hobbies include sleeping on the barn roof, greeting guests and chasing mice.
She makes special guest appearances in both books! Kids love to find her on the pages!

Vivian has personally approved of her likeness in the new book and gave two paws up to Bennett!
