We're freezing our butt's off so you don't have to
It has finally turned cold here in the valley, getting motivated to get out of my heated car and put down my latte seem to be the biggest obstacles in the morning, but are soon forgotten as we embark on the task of winter harvest. Although most all our veggies are covered many root crops are not, and on a morning like today they are blanketed with snow making the soil rock hard even with a pitch fork your hands are gonna take a beating, not like you feel them anyway though. The task of uncovering and recovering on a daily basis becomes very mundane and at times seems pointless but definitely proves to be worth while to do everyday. No more machine cut greens or wholesaling for a few months, this is a good thing for our csa customers, as all our greens will be cut by hand, which adds more control over the quality of the greens we harvest, which is extremely important in these cold times. All and all its a bittersweet time for me and Jeff, we finally have time to take a few breaths and relax, but we will probably be using it to think of ways to make next fall/winter even busier. Thanks for taking the time!!!
