Not too much to say this week, except, what an incredible week! We are predominantly harvesting now every week and I cannot get over pulling veggies out of the ground, ready to eat, that I put in the ground as a seed or a tiny plant last spring! I will let this week's pictures speak for themselves as the lovely harvesting and crazy cool August temperatures has put everybody in a good mood! Here are the fotos of the week:

Even weeding can be beautiful on the farm! Elena and Jacob, with a weedy headdress, Monday afternoon, weeding the parsnips in Fisher. |

In wrap up, the harvesting our crew focused on this week was Taxi tomatoes, green peppers, Nadia and Rosa Bianca eggplant, green beans, yellow beans, sweet corn, German Butterball new potatoes, jalapenos, and even some heirloom peppers and tomatoes! This isn't even counting the work of the other crews with ready chard, beets, eggplant, kale, cilantro and spinach! A lovely week to be outside. Harvest time is definitely busy, but slower in the lovely way of observing nature's progress and enjoying the abundant gifts of gorgeous, fresh, organic produce, that we have been working all year to see manifest.
XOXO,
Val
While one garden thrives and is harvested another waits for its time to be. Although it may seem to be neglected, it is being quiet and still, open to all that the earth and the air and the sun and the moon may yet give to it. Sg
