Farm Happenings for October 15, 2024

Posted on October 11th, 2024 by Alex Smith

Happy first frost day,

It wasn't an expansive one and didn't hit any crop; but it was all over the marginal ground on the farm. Not much changes for us but it is still a waypoint of the year. 

A lot of our staff has been out sick this week. It has been a very busy week for us to harvest and pack short-handed. The ground also dried out enough over last weekend to catch up on field work - the tractor drivers were hustling.

Pictured:  last night we had an incredible view of the aurora borealis. 

Have a great weekend,

Alex
