Winter farm show season is great because it’s when we get to chat with readers who stop by the Neighbor booth. We often hear how much they love our publication – especially the Wosters and the “doctors,” and many tell us they read from cover to cover. So they know we’ve got great stories from all over the Neighborhood. Those stories are carefully crafted by our editorial team.
