It's that time! Don't forget to scoot over to your pick up location this week to grab your produce box. A heads up for next week...Since we will be having our Stock Up Sale and Pumpkin-Palooza on Thursday, we will not have a pick up location in Libby. We will still have Farm Stand boxes available, but pick up will be on farm Thursday. We intend to be back to the regular pick up times the following week - though the Farmers Market will have ended, we plan to have a pop-up farm stand of our own and pick up of ordered boxes will be available there.
This week has been a productive one, we've turned the corner in that we still have a great many tasks to do, but it no longer feels like they all need to be done right away, lol! We've gotten all of our Fall crops planted, and many blocks of cover crops have been seeded, and we've made a lot of progress on harvesting big batches of Fall crops (i.e. winter squash!). So, we're enjoying being on the other side of stressed, but we're still trying to accomplish a lot in the next couple of weeks. Our most pressing projects for the rest of the week are two-fold...1) We'd really like to demo the melon blocks so that we can plant and establish a nice crimson clover/vetch cover crop where they are, and 2) We'd also really like to construct our newly purchased barrel washer so that we can use it next week on potatoes, carrots and beets! Wish us luck!
We look forward to seeing you at pick up!
Cheers, Rudy & Bonnie
