Clarity



One of the remarkable things about tending these acres in all season and conditions, is getting to experience the subtleties of each season.

We often perceive winter in Northeastern Ohio as an undifferentiated blur of salt-stained gray.

But a shift in the clouds, however fleeting, can reveal startling colors and clarity, especially on a single digit December afternoon, when ice crusted snow sparkles beneath a startling clear blue sky, and the competing textures of flowing water and solid ice create a stunning backdrop for our avian vineyard friends.
