Office and farm help? Our daughter Esther will -- unless the Coronavirus situation changes for the worse -- be heading to college in the fall, and we are likely to need some help with assorted office tasks starting in late August. Holler if you might be able and willing to help us in that capacity! It would probably be something like 6-10 hours per week, until Thanksgiving, or perhaps longer. And speaking of help, we will also have a need for someone mechanically adept to help maintain and repair the assorted equipment and tractors we utilize on the farm, if any of you have that ability, or knows someone who does, and would have 8-15 hours per week available! Especially from September on! And since we will be saying farewell to a bunch of students (both college and high school) that will also be heading back to school in September, we could probably use an extra pair of hands or two helping either with the packing of the vegetables in the barn, or helping in the field with harvesting, etc., if any of you (who live close by) might want to help us with those activities! (It is nicer here in the fall, and not so hot like in July and August, and the packing barn is always comfortable, at least until November!)
Unannounced item(s) in your tote: When we make our estimate of what will available to put into your totes, we generally will guess conservatively, so that whatever vegetable shows up on your proposed list of ingredients, you can count on actually receiving that. (And our packers are over 99% successful in getting the listed items in your tote, though not yet 100%!) Once in a while, though, an estimate may be way too low, so that we might have lots of extras of something, and if it is a relatively popular vegetable, we will simply slip it into some or all of your totes, with the expectation that you would still be happy to receive it. That would be why you might receive something that is not on your list!~
Have a great week!
Peter & Bernadette
