Every time you are a little tired of a task: planting, harvesting greens, or preparing beds, it is time to move on to the next phase of the season. When the season ends there is some relief and some sadness, but it just feels right because it is the time of the year to slow down. -Simon.

Every part of the year has its own distinct feel and flavor, and for me, they're ALL the "best" part when their time comes around. Right now, with the more rigid schedule of CSA and market over, you can start to let all the background thoughts from the main season seep in for lengthier consideration. It's great! Solutions to problems and frustrations, ideas for improvements, all that can start to be put into plans and made real. You can leisurely stroll around, checking things out, planning and daydreaming. There's still a lot of physical labor, but field clean-up and building and fixing projects can be skedded around the weather. End of season is a great, annual change of pace that keeps the brain sharp and the energy surging! (OK, maybe it's a bit of a fanatic's life, but it sure is fun!:) Simon: Yeah, exactly!

It is an exciting time and now you are able to look around the farm and just think for a bit instead of "just do". -Simon. Congratulations on making it to the end of the market season.
