Despite all the terrible destruction and damage created by the recent hurricane, we are happy to report that the farm suffered minimal damage. While the roads above and below us flooded quite badly, an improvised dam at the top of our driveway enabled us to avoid some major erosion in our driveway.
Apple Valley Road was washed out in two places, and you can see videos of it and the flooding at the top of our driveway. Just visit this link to our YouTube channel:

Hard and fast work by our local farmers has repaired both washouts, and the farm is now accessible from all roads.
