Hi folks,
Attached is a photo of Dan bringing in the harvest of parsley.
This week on the farm, recovery from last weeks torrent of rain. Pounding, 4" in four hour rain. The crew was soaked, the veg was in mud, the lettuce mix was pounded. Wow, after such a spell of dry weather, what a reverse in extremes. Farming, among many things, is working with the elements. Seeing how far you can push yourself and your crew before they resent you....I think we're all OK though, we had several half days last week. Hopefully y'all as sharers hardly noticed the mud.
This week on the farm, more compost spreading, more cover crop seeding, harvesting for our CSA, pigs to pasture, meat birds to pasture, greenhouse cleanup (from the greenhouse tomatoes.) Also, Cody will start building a root cellar in the barn so we can offer winter veggies to our CSA members in the future.
Here's the harvest:
Onions
Carrots
Beets
Broccoli
Peppers
Eggplant
Chard
Arugula
Salad Mix
Kale
Daikon Radish
Winter Squash
Parsley
Bon appetite!
Your farmers,
Dan, Tracy, Bea and Baxter
