I spent my third Thursday in a row up at Gather and Feast Farm. This week I arrived a little early so I could go out and see the pigs and the dogs. I missed them the first week I was there. Today we picked potatoes. The tractor goes through first and that digs. Then we got through and pick all the potatoes that have come up. Mark, the owner, goes over the area a few times with the tractor. My picture doesn't even show half the potatoes we picked up.
We were all enthralled with a couple of little boys who came out to pick with their parents. They have yet to discover that it is work and so they had a great time. Holy moly. Got to love that. And they worked pretty hard for little guys.
We each got a bag of produce again and could pick tomatoes on the way out. The tomatoes are almost done. I still managed to get a plastic bag full. I have been dining on tomatoes since I started doing this. And I noticed that there are three of us who have been there each of these three weeks. One is trying to get a job there for next summer.
