Thank you to everybody who came out last Saturday to help with the fall farm work. A great crew helped harvest 4,000 pounds of beets and 1,000 pounds of carrots (some of which are in this week’s CSA boxes and at this week’s Farmers Market stand), which freed Chris and Kim up to attend to some critical recovery business this week and next.
Thank you also to everybody who donated to our flood relief fund. The money you provided will go a long ways in helping to smooth out this fall and the damage done in the August rains.
When I spoke to a friend about the problems we were having dealing with the effects of the flooding, he encouraged me to ask our CSA members and market customers for help and feel the love. The help has been great. The love has meant even more.
Kim will be running the Twin Cities Marathon on Sunday. If you are out cheering friends and relatives – or just want to cheer Kim on! – watch for her around the 8:45 minutes per mile pace. You can find a route map here, and Kim’s pace chart here. Her bib number is F4307. I (Chris) am staying home with the kids, so any help you can provide in cheering Kim on will be appreciated! Plus, it’s kind of fun and exciting. How many organic farmers do you know who run marathons?
