After a week of intense heat, humidity, and mosquitoes, we were all very happy to work these past few days. We had a busy schedule of harvest for the Spring Season shares and early summer planting continues. In weather like this, everyone is eager to be outside and work seems to get done faster. Yesterday morning we had a short thunderstorm that sent us running for the packing shed only to get back out into the field 20 minutes later. It’s hard not to love your work during weeks like this.

A beautiful stand of scallions. Pulling these out of the ground is one of my favorite jobs on the farm!

Fresh garlic harvest. The smell of garlic was so amazing while we were pulling it up!
