Week 18

Posted on September 8th, 2023 by Ford Waterstrat

We're super excited to have secured 14 more acres of farm land for the next several years. This farm has sat vacant for the past 3 years so fortunately we will be able certify all crops that we harvest here as "Certified" Organic. Land must be free of any synthetic substances for 3 years before it is able to be USDA Certified Organic. Israel and I spent several days mowing down and "plowing" under the debris. We will sow a cover crop on this field late September-Early October. We raise a "cover crop" to protect and enhance the soil. 

As the guys are thinking about how many weeks until they are able to return to their families back home in Mexico I have dangled a carrot in front of my team to make sure that there are no mistakes in your shares. I have offered a bonus to any employee that makes no mistakes in packing shares. If you do notice an error in your share-- please let me know and send me a picture of your share label.... even if you want them to get the bonus :)

Sincere thanks,

Ford
