I loved reading prose from all over the world. It’s been absolutely wonderful to publish to our little orchard this Fall.
Thank you again for everyone who submitted their little fruits to us during our first harvest.

We look forward to reading your preserved and pureed prose when we open for our first Winter season on Dec. 1st.

Is…is the ranch from done and dusted a confederate legacy???? Rebel Blue ranch founded in the 1800s When the FMC’s family went west???

Romance readers please tell me if this is confederacy apologia so I know to yeet it.

Every tech update now is like: "Great news, the word processor you've relied on for twenty years has learned to juggle! Is it good at it? No! Does it help in any way? Of course not! Has it made it insufferable to use? Oh, absolutely."
