October is almost over and we haven't written anything about fall harvest. Last weekend we got the camera out on a sunny afternoon. Pieter and Julia walked through the field with the fall crops of fennel, cabbage, brussels sprouts, cauliflower and broccoli.
We have really enjoyed our first year of the CSA. It allowed us more time at the farm on Saturdays when we would usually be at the farmers market and made us keenly aware of how a good succession of crop plantings should be planned. We were nervous when a hard frost hit us 3 weeks ago but it looks like we planted plenty and the last 3 weeks should be flavorful.
This fall and winter we are building the start to our packing shed. Hunter is on the ladder working on the roof framing, it will give us a place to store equipment in the winter and process produce the rest of the year.
