Howdy from the Dickinson College Farm! Long time field notes reader and first time author. I’m Maddie one of the first year apprentices this season and the previous Education and Outreach Coordinator. I am so thrilled to be back outside working in the fields after what felt like an endless winter and chilly start to spring spent seeding and packing orders indoors. The past two weeks have been super fun getting back outside and into the swing of things. It’s been awesome getting to know my fellow apprentices and student farmers as we work together to harvest all the delicious veggies and plentiful strawberries for your CSA shares! We apprentices have also been spending the past two weeks adjusting to yurt life. The low temperatures were quite a challenge to endure our first week in the yurts, but you can’t beat the beautiful farm views and the very short commute to work our new living situation provides! I hope you all enjoy the food we have been working hard to grow for you this week, and I look forward to updating you all about farm happenings again in the future.
-Maddie
