A toddler presses a felt tractor onto the farm board, a felt cow already in place.
Sheep graze beneath an old apple tree in the orchard.Seeds carved with tiny trees and patterns, seen through the lens.
Bags of grain and a few roots wait in a basket at the cooking demo.
An artist bends to the microscope, the work on the screen beside him.Racks of lettuce starts wait at the farm store, the Sale signs hand-lettered.
Grains and greens come together in a red pot.
The two cooks behind the demo table pose with their pots in front of the hoop houses.Kids crowd the table to peer into the jars, one of them mid-gasp.
A girl buries her nose in a jar to see what's inside.
The cooks hand out tastes to the kids crowding the table.A girl waters the seeds she just pressed into the soil.
A small hand drops seeds into a paper boat of soil.
The tractor driver waits at the wheel, ear protection on, for the next load of riders.Families pack the hay wagon, ready to roll.
Kids pour off the hay wagon at the end of the ride.
Riders wave from the wagon as it passes the pond.A mother holds her smiling toddler by the pond.
Arms flung wide, the storyteller reaches the best part, and the kids on the blankets are right there with her.
An old hand and a young one face off over a giant chess board on the lawn.Smoke rolls up from the grill and swallows the cook whole.
Flames lick the meat on the grill as the tongs go to work.
A boy grins as he places his X on the giant tic-tac-toe board.A boy waves on his way past the wooden hole board.
A toddler peeks over the chess pieces, one hand on a black pawn.
From above, Glynwood's fields and barns roll out toward the hills on Family and Farm Day.Families gather on the lawn beneath the old farmhouse, the day in full swing.
A tractor pulls a wagon full of riders along the pond, past the big maples.
Picnic tables fill up across the lawn beyond the garden.A line forms at the pizza tent in front of the white barn.
A small wooded island sits in the middle of a lake, forest on every shore.
A kiss on the cheek, and the baby keeps a firm grip on his apple.Through a peeling window frame, an old glass greenhouse holds a table and chairs.
A family picnics on the grass, paper boats of lunch passed around.
A woman lines up her cornhole toss on the lawn below the greenhouse.Three kids huddle over the bocce balls to see whose is closest.
Two girls reach across a giant checkerboard while a small one watches from the edge.
A volunteer in a green hat offers a tray of snacks by the pasture fence.A boy leans on the fence rail to watch the flock under the apple trees.
A little girl rides high on her father's shoulders.
A farmer in a wide hat and red plaid smiles at the edge of the sheep pasture.A man grins over an armful of plant starts and rhubarb.
Apple in hand, a girl looks up while her little brother finds a place for his felt tractor.
A father laughs on a bench with his daughter in his lap.Seedlings fill the tables inside the hoop house.
Two girls throw peace signs from the hay wagon.
A boy takes the wheel of the truck and can't stop grinning.Two girls take a turn at the wheel of the old red tractor.
A singer strums her ukulele from an Adirondack chair on the lawn.
