There is a new business in the Shields Valley — Highland Harmony Farm.

Highland Harmony Farm, a dream of owner Sadie Collins, started in June when she was approved for a Natural Resources Conservation Service grant. 

The grant paid for most of the materials for the high tunnel, no-heat greenhouse. Sadie, along with her husband, Seth, and other family members and friends put up the tunnel in June. 

Collins says she’s always been a gardener/farmer. 

“Gardening for a living sounds dreamy to me,” she said.

And she has always liked chickens.

The Shields Valley FFA chapter is making the best it can out of the coronavirus pandemic situation, the organization reported. 

It was unfortunate members didn’t get to the regular State FFA Convention, but at least they still got to compete virtually. 

This gave them a chance to finish out the year, so they thank the State FFA Association for hosting the State Virtual Convention. 

Shields Valley FFA competed in Agronomy, Farm Business Management, Livestock and Sales.
