Our family left the farm for a much needed vacation and handed the reins over to our wholly capable and incredible crew for the week. Since the beginning of March this swath of land has asked 7 day work weeks of us and we have obliged devotedly, tending and coaxing productivity, in constant conversation with the myriad of variables that is our diversified organic farm. By the time August rolls around we are spent and, while it feels like an impossible task to extricate ourselves from this habitat, it's a respite we afford ourselves in order to restore physical and emotional reserves. We are so so grateful to Sarah, Craig, Gabby, and Meghan for allowing us this break and taking such great care of the farm and animals while we are away! Please cheer on our indispensable crew if you see them this week, they truly deserve it! We'll see you farmside next week, refreshed and ready for the remainder of the season.

This week's workshift schedule is very light due to farmer vacation but will pick up again next week:

Bring gloves, water, a hat, sturdy shoes, and a pad for kneeling (if necessary for you)!

We meet under the large red maple at the end of the barn by the pick up room.
