“I am excited”—Farmer Lynn on her official first day as a full-timer on this tiny farm! This is so great! Lynn started out volunteering mid-last season, for a few hours after work on harvest Fridays, returned more or less in the dead of winter (early March) to help with seed starting, left her chosen career path of several years at the end of June, and decided to work for the rest of this season…right here! I am excited! :)
This pic reminds me of those “classic” Big Agriculture photos where a row of combine harvesters rolls up a field in impressive staggered formation, except, here it’s Mel (first day!), Lynn and Raechelle, not machines! Hand-weeding mainly pigweed from between tightly spaced rows of greens is unfortunately still in fashion this season, as it was last year, and the year before, and… The more hands the QUICKER, though, and this round went by in no time, under a gorgeous blue sky…
