After the scandal over a decade ago, Orvyn Payne is in pain once again. Following the anniversary of his wife’s disappearance (to Fletch Farms, that is) Payne’s last cow stopped producing milk and has died.

Many, myself included, can’t help but wonder if the outdated tradition of leaving offerings to the “Fair Folk” (which Payne claims to have done since before his farm was standing) is the reason for his farm’s demise. 

Could this be the last year that we overrate his pumpkins as “the sweetest”?

Be sure to stop by my new cart at this year’s harvest market, our cranberries are the softest cranberries in town. This makes their preservation much easier than those tough berries you might find elsewhere!
