More from the Market
Today’s wares set up behind the stand at the farmers’ market. First thing in the morning (that’s around 7 am), we open and arrange all of the crates and use them to stock the stand and assemble CSA shares. Here, we’re partway into the morning—as the day progresses, crates get stacked. Visible in the pic, an assortment of mainly heirloom tomatoes, carrots, assorted sweet peppers (we picked a lot of ‘em green before turning to red rather than let them shrivel in the near-drought conditions), various beets, garlic, and green and yellow beans pre-packed for the CSA. As for the traffic, the day was on the quiet side, despite great weather—it seems the fresh, local, organic trend so pumped in the media this year, and apparently somewhat sweeping the cities, is taking its time hitting the countryside. All in all, though, a decent Saturday!

This is a great phopt and a good follow up to your last whiteboard one. It all starts out with a list, X’s, check marks, and ends up like this!
You humans are always at battle with the elements and you seem to be coming out ok! If it’s not the friendly racoons, it’s the ferocious pigweeed, the lack of rain , or some kind of bug or pest. I am amazed.
Keep up the battle. Mother nature must love you all.
