Morning light hits the greenhouse as the group assembles on a gravel lot; the air smells of damp soil and fresh-cut hay. For 90 minutes, the farm insists on being active — rows of market vegetables invite picking, hens cluck around coop doors, and ambassador goats Chuck and Larry press their heads for a quick brush.
