Farm Happenings for August 29, 2023

Posted on August 25th, 2023 by Alex Smith

Hello CSA friends,

Today is the last day for the summer crew. The rest of our student workers finish their summer employment and will start classes on Monday. The good news is that all six summer student workers will continue part time in the fall semester. The other farm leadership and I have enjoyed a particularly strong, committed, and capable crew all summer.

In other news:  this has been a huge week of harvests. We harvested about 4000lbs of potatoes on Wednesday afternoon with more still to come. We also brought in more of a beautiful crop of watermelon and cantaloupe. And, of course, we will pull in another couple truck loads of tomatoes this afternoon as well. Tis the season!

Pictured:  a few of our summer crew sharing laughs during our Friday group lunch last week.

Enjoy, and as always, feel free to reach out with questions, concerns, or comments!

Best,

 

Alex
