This week's farm news:

Well, we made it safely home from our vacation to Gulf Shores. We had a great & relaxing trip even though we chose to be slightly psycho & do most of our driving in the wee hours to avoid all of the "when-will-we-be-there's" from the kiddos. Upon our return we found the farm running like a well-oiled machine thanks to Beth, Ben, & Jesse! I think the crew had a good time (even though they didn't throw any major parties) & their confidence grew about being able to care for a farm on their own. It was an especially empowering time since each intern aspires to have their own farm operation one day. (Even after spending a season here they still want to do it on their own!) How wonderful that we all mutually benefited from our family's time away!

So, remarkably, today ends the main season vegetables share! This season went by so quickly! We thank everyone who participated & hope that you enjoyed it! If you're not participating in the fall share, have a great fall & winter and we hope to see you again next spring! If you have signed up for a fall share, we'll see you next Saturday (October 2) for fall share basket number one!! We still have shares available, also, so spread the word! Thank you!
