Hello everyone. This past week of harvesting was interesting to say the least. We were introduced to fall in it's full glory. Sunshine, wind, clouds, cool temperatures, frost, rain, sleet and finally snow. As you can see by the photo above, all the weather drama ended in a gloriously bright and colorful double rainbow displayed above the field we were working feverously in. We shoved all the squash pallets into our new kitchen area covered them and turned a heater on to keep them from freezing. Fall is so challenging. Next we managed to place a pallet of snow covered cabbage inside as well.
Credit definitely goes to the hard working "Produce Squad" this week. All the turnips, daikon, purple, green, watermelon and black radishes are out of the ground, washed and in storage. A big job. They topped the brisk days off with harvesting about 400 pounds of Brussels sprouts as well. WHOOP, WHOOP!!
