Cassandra Bare is a fifth-generation farmer.

"It's all I want to do," she said. "I've never wanted to do anything else." 

More than a decade of work disappeared when Helene came barreling through. Her field full of gourds was destroyed, her corn maze is gone, her apple orchard has not much left and her pumpkin fields are empty.

"If you're lucky you can see the remnants of a pumpkin vine here and there," Bare said.

The few pumpkins she had left she donated to local schools. All of the work disappeared in a flash. The fence that normally wraps around the property was torn apart by strong water. It bent and killed every flower in her U-pick farm. It took her 11 years to get the U-pick farm.

"I'm going to have to pick — am I going to raise flowers or nursery stock we have to replace? So it's going to have to be a toss-up," Bare said.

The greenhouse is also gone. She says looking at these fields is hard with Halloween just days away.

"We had a potting shed and the river was so swift it blew out the wall in the potting shed," she said. "We have lost years' worth of equipment and greenhouse infrastructure."

"All of our plants — all we needed to put a plant in is gone," Bare said.

But she says no matter what it takes, they will be back.

"Putting our boots on, going out the door and getting as much done for that day as we can do," Bare said. "We will get through it, we might just look a little different in the end."

Bare says help is needed to rebuild the fence that wraps around the patch. She is hoping people will volunteer to help.
