Omigoodness we got a lot of sunshine this week, and the soil has been dry enough to work and we’ve seeded crops and cover crops and mowed the farm so that it looks nice again and we’ve had a pleasant time of working outside in this remarkable weather!
Chris attended a food safety seminar on Tuesday that provided suggestions that will get us a long ways towards achieving a food safety certification from the USDA. We already follow best practices; we just need to upgrade our monitoring and documentation, something that will take some significant time and energy.
We are still running a little shorthanded, but we are coming back from that a little. One of the hazards of running a small farm – or any small business – is that having even one person out sick can present some real challenges.
We started onion and shallot harvest in earnest this week, and anticipate getting another big crop of carrots out of the ground (and out of the weeds. Yuck.) and hoeing the perennial herbs before the weekend rolls around.
