I've been dreaming about a flower farm for so long now. Pete and I explored Upstate New York, mainly Columbia County, this weekend to get a sense of the area. There are a lot of farms up there -- lots of big farms with acres upon acres of corn. It's super rural too, even more than so Western MA. Hardly any decisions were made, only that perhaps 5 acres would be too large to tend on a part-time basis and that we'd need to get adjusted to super-rural weekends.

Some pictures taken at a sweet bed & breakfast in Hillsdale, NY, the Inn at Green River.
