Ah, it is good to welcome October, even with some chilly rain. As much as I LOVE September weather, the September workload always exceeds available hours and leaves this set of farmers weary, behind, and questioning why we do this.
And this rain is SO needed, by the land and it gives our team that has spent loads of hours in the fields a good reason to catch up on some inside demands.
We haven’t done the tally of pounds harvested, but safe to say it is taking its toll, while also giving us deep satisfaction and certainly the feeling of food security. And there are still more beets, carrots and sprouts in the field.
That’s the overwhelming piece, but amidst that there is a lot of beauty and satisfaction. Here are a few photos of the achievements and joy we’ve experienced the past few weeks as we pack away healthy, delicious food for all of you. (Finishing with a joy video of piglets on pasture)
