 Longview Farm is Officially Open!
 By Donna RhoDes
PLYMOUTH – Locals have been pleased to discover that Longview Farm has offi- cially opened for the season on June 15th, offering a few early crops as they await the upcoming growing season, but in the meantime, the Nourish Proper food truck is also back outside the store with great meals available from locally sourced products.
Longview Farm is under the operation of Regina Rinaldo and her partner Nate Everts. The pair, along with a knowl- edgeable crew, have been busy planting, harvesting, and caring for their crops along the fertile Baker River in Plymouth.

to make their way to the store were starter plants and flowers for home gardeners, as well as a
variety of cherry tomatoes, kale, beet greens, a popular lettuce mix, broccoli, and “broccolini.”

That voice was a singular sound on an otherwise mute planet.
Then high above the earth, an angry voice of what the indigenous people called the “Great Spirit” could be heard as he chastised his daughter for an illicit affair that resulted in her pregnancy. Overcome with anger, the Great Spirit cast his daughter out of heaven. His daughter, now a falling “sky woman,” plunged towards the waters covering the earth to the certainty of being drowned. Miraculously, a giant turtle ap- peared on the surface of the
