We've had two days filled with rain which made harvesting really difficult today. Fortunately, we're taking this weekend off from the Farmer's Market, so we only had to harvest for our CSA shares. The shares looked so pretty and colorful that I decided to post a picture on the blog. The only things missing in the picture are fresh corn and a few bags filled with fresh herbs. Everything was so wet and the air was so cool, we didn't have to put any of the harvest into the giant coolers we usually fill every Friday. We ended the day slogging through the mud, wrestling beautiful red potatoes from the sloppy mud. We think our "eaters" (CSA members) are getting great value for their dollar - average share size is 20 to 25 lbs. per week of extremly fresh, naturally grown (can't say 'organic' since we're not certified!) produce. The cool, rainy weather makes harvesting really pleasant....the deep, sticky mud, not so much!
