Week 4
The summer starts become a blur starting about now. Harvests are
larger and one day seems to blend into the next. The days become more
predictable. Greens harvest, followed by head lettuce, then bunches. We try to
spend the last couple of hours each day working on projects like staking
tomatoes or hand weeding carrots.
By this point in the season, the crew can recite my pep talks about setting goals and staying focused. But always in good fun, with jokes and laughter and singing. Amidst the bustle of daily operation, it’s easy to take for granted the beauty that surrounds us here on the farm. So today I stopped for a few
moments to take it in!
