The night miners
The farmer had been taking good care of his crops all season. He knows not of the night creatures that are waiting eagerly to snatch the sweet roots. The hares have secretly dug their ways under the farmers land and the miners of the night are off on their mission while the guard is fast asleep... More Sugar!
We don't usually get together, but when it comes to carrot juice it is party time upto dawn.
There is nothing to make our juice sweeter than sweet
SUGAR!
