First Harvest

Today we did our first harvest in preparation for our first farmer’s market tommorow.  Got out to the field bright and early at 6am.  Woo hoo!

We harvested head lettuce, spinach, kale, peas, green onions, radishes, green garlic, oregano, cilantro, sage, and dill.  It’s a small harvest, but enough to fill several tables with beautiful veggies.

After harvesting the veggies we took them all to the barn to be weighed, washed, bagged, and bundled.

After everything was ready for market we spent the rest of the afternoon gathering all of our market supplies and setup items.  I’m so excited for the first market!
