Farm experience

Working on a regenerative farm in Virginia.

The log cabin and the winding farm road at dusk, wooded hills and a willow under a deep blue evening sky. — Blue hour over the cabin

Looking down at a fresh soil core hole in red ground, a muddy spade beside it, red clover flowering around the opening and rubber boots at the edge of the frame. — Cutting a soil core

Gus, the speckled farm dog, walking away down a wet gravel lane between misty pastures, a small rabbit sitting on the road far ahead. — Gus stares down a rabbit on the farm path

Cattle spread across a gravel lane in heavy fog, grazing the verges on both sides, a farmhouse and a red stock trailer faint in the distance. — The herd in morning fog

A barred gray hen and a chestnut hen under a rhododendron beside a pale wooden fence, a third bird half hidden behind the branches. — The laying hens

A farmer in work clothes holding a long black rat snake across both hands, its pale checkered belly catching the light. — A black rat snake passing through

Looking out from a covered porch at sunset over rolling pasture: a farmhouse to the left, a small log cabin below, a willow, and a track running over the hill under pink and orange cloud. — Sunset from the porch

A pale gray and white turkey with its tail and wing feathers fanned out, standing on a sunlit gravel farm track. — The supervisor

White canopy tents in a parking lot under an overcast sky, tables of seedlings and produce beneath them, a few people walking between the stands. — Market morning

Tall midsummer meadow, dark plantain seed heads standing over the grass and a leafy volunteer plant in the foreground. — Midsummer meadow

A dense mat of pasture grass seen straight down, blades curling in every direction with a few broadleaf weeds tucked in. — The pasture, up close

Cattle waiting in green steel pens inside the barn, timber trusses and a strip light overhead. — Cattle in the working pens

A person holding a bucket feeds pigs beside a wooden shelter in a wooded enclosure. — Feeding the pigs
