What a strange few days it's been. I keep saying that I'm tired of pivoting, but I guess we're not done yet! These unprecedented and fast moving fires in Oregon and all of the west coast have been terribly devastating, and we've been mostly hunkered down inside thinking about what's to come and those who have lost so much. Our Saturday market was abruptly cancelled as the smoke moved in on Friday, and we scrambled to figure out what to do with all of the produce that had already been harvested. We made an extra wholesale delivery on Saturday and donated the rest to The Giving Plate in Bend, who is reaching a lot of displaced folks in need of food.
Now we're wondering what's in store for this week. It's hard to make a good plan when the smoke forecast is uncertain, and although we want to get good food to our community we also want to protect our health and that of our employees so we can keep farming in the future. Thankfully, it looks like the smoke will clear a bit by Wednesday and Thursday, so although the next few days are still uncertain, our top priority is to harvest food for you, our dedicated members, on Thursday. We've got a beautiful farm share for you this week, we hope you'll stay safe and inside and enjoy spending time with some good food in the kitchen!
All the best,
Ashley and Caleb
