PAWNEE ROCK — Saturday afternoon, a steady stream of visitors made their way to Heartland Farm, 10 miles west of Great Bend, for an opportunity to pet an alpaca, coo over baby chicks, and learn about a way of life that is in tune and at peace with nature. It was the Dominican Sisters of Peace annual Open Farm Day, and this year the sisters had much to celebrate.
