Staying ahead, even in wet weather
As I am here at the computer contemplating what to write about, it occurs to me that many if not all of my blog entries have weather related themes. But when your office is 40 acres of uncovered valley, the weather is a very important aspect of your life. By the end of March I had a mid summers tan and couldn't go to the store without people asking me if I just got back from vacation or if I use tanning beds, I always tell em "no, I work for a living." This last 10 days or so have been particularly wet and miserable out here on the farm, times like these the temptation to just harvest and let everyone go home early is definitly apparent, but after doing this for 6 years or so, I know better than to fall behind early in the season. So we put in some long wet days and kept the momentum going. Which is always a tough call at the time, but seldom do I ever regret putting out that extra effort to get through the tough times. Even though we grow more and more every year it seems to get a little easier as we become more organized, and gain knowledge through trial and error, things are going quite smoothly so far and I am going to do everything in my power to keep it that way. Thanks for taking the time!!!

Our Lake Forest Park Commons Farmers Market is at the other end of your hard work: the "eatin'" end. Just wanted to thank you for all those hours in the rain and pass along my appreciation for the delightful baby turnips and fresh-picked greens we enjoyed in several giant salads this week. Especially the tiny turnips, something new!
