Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Lemon Bar

One of the first things I really dreamed of before moving to our land was to be able to harvest fruits from our own trees. We have planted several ones already and this winter our second lemon tree started producing beautiful lemons. We had so many that I decided to bake a sweet treat.
