[CSA Update] Welcome to week 16

Not everyone volunteers to drive the poop-mobile. But somebody has to drive it to the fields for everyone's comfort. Anyone else watch Mike Rowe's show Dirty Jobs or listen to his podcast?

A few years back, new safety laws enacted that required access to bathroom facilities in every single field. This is more easily implemented when a single farm field takes 6 hours to cross at 10 miles an hour in a tractor.

In New England, we have a patchwork version of farming. We have a little bit of land here, a little more up the street, and another couple of spots in the next town and on.

These regulations triggered the innovation of creating a mobile solution. As of the last count, there were only 2 in the state of Connecticut last year. It isn't fancy, but it is remarkably clean, convenient, and stable. It has a stabilizer and steps for when it is in use.

Turns out the most complicated part to figure out - toilet paper. If you use the wrong roll, one with too large of a core, the whole roll will unravel and trail down the road like a flag.

This little snapshot behind the scenes isn't meant to gross you out. We take so many extra steps to ensure that all of your food is safely handled.
We take care of our farm team and of every piece of produce.

To all the grown ups that used to work on farms as kids - you are welcome. Keep asking questions, and I'll keep sharing stories from behind the scenes.
