“The soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all. It is the healer and restorer and resurrector, by which disease passes into health, age into youth, death into life. Without proper care for it we can have no community, because without proper care for it we can have no life.” 
― Wendell Berry, The Unsettling of America: Culture and Agriculture
Murray County Happenings....
The fall season is in full force with cool nights and stunning sunsets. It is also one of the busiest seasons for our biggest industry....FARMING!    Be safe out there this fall and enjoy those October skies!

There are a few great events coming up.   Don't miss out on the fall bazaars, many who do carry outs orders geared to those farmers in the field. Want some other good eats to go?   Check out all of the restaurants in Murray County!

Get outside and enjoy life by going to the End O Line Park this weekend for the "Out of the Darkness" walk on Saturday or head to the  Stonegate Orchard and the Farmer's Daughter to pick up some fresh produce. 

Coming up later in October is a Lorie Line Concert - at our very own Lake Shetek.  Get your tickets early.

Have a great week!
