First CSA Harvest of the Season!

Monica explaining what we will be harvesting and how we will weigh, wash and package the harvested produce.

Going on a harvest field walk is different than other field walks. We were directed to the plants that we would harvest...and we learned how to harvest chard, spinach (it had been harvested 20 times before), cilantro, green garlic and other things.

Donned the rain pants and was off as the Harvest Coordinator!

After the tour, we had to choose our first Harvest Coordinator...everyone wanted to get out in the paddocks and harvest. So, guess who was the first HC?

Weighing the harvested chard dry. We weigh all produce dry.

Packed chard ready for the shares.

We also packed up wild bouquets. This is one of my new farmy friends, Chris. He is an avid cook, storyteller and listener.
