Colp: On the Farm

by Gypsum Sound Tales, Deb Stark, Emily Hoisington

There’s something about farm life that sticks with you. Maybe it’s the smell of fresh hay in the morning, the clatter of boots on a wooden porch, or the slow, steady rhythm of days shaped by weather, animals, and seasons. Life on a farm moves at its own pace - sometimes too fast, sometimes frustratingly slow - but it always teaches you something, whether you’re ready for the lesson or not.

On the Farm is a collection of stories from that world. Some are funny, some a little bittersweet, and others just plain real. They come from long days in the fields, cold mornings in the barn, and those quiet moments at dusk when the work is done and the sun slips behind the hills. You’ll meet a few characters along the way - some two-legged, some four - but all of them have a role to play in the messy, beautiful patchwork of farm life.

My story, “Behind the booth” is featured in this anthology- a story about a girl who inherits her grandparents farm and meets some unlikely characters at the farmers market! A short and sweet summery story! 👩🏼‍🌾
