2012 Mud Creek Farm Crew |
We've been picking and hauling. |
Discovering and learning. |
Bunching and drying. |
Tossing and catching. |
Storing in Jack's hay loft. |
Washing, washing, washing. |
The fall fields are just gorgeous. |
Glowing health. |
The winter squash harvest this year is AMAZING! They are ready a whole month early. |
Wonderful volunteers come out on a Sunday afternoon to help pick up squash. |
We haul them into the greenhouse to cure. |
Even smaller hands can help too. |
Some CSA members volunteer to make dinner for the hungry farmworkers. |
Mike and Valerie really outdid everyone -- gourmet gazpacho, organic ham, corn relish, and chocolate tarts! |
We are so grateful.
Our neighbor Jack (who can fix anything) stops by to fix the ancient Ontario Grain Drill. |
We hitch it up to the old Farmall Cub to plant the winter cover crops. |
An agricultural miracle. But one that has happened before, likely. |
We pour the Grain Drill full of Rye and Clover seed. |
These fields have yielded much abundance, and will hopefully continue to do so. |
Rest, fields, in restorative grass roots. We are grateful. |
