Peak Season - Sign Up for a Workshift Soon!
by Farmer Derek

Peak season is upon us! Peak weed germination and growth, peak harvests and overall weight, peak exhaustion, and probably peak heat. If you signed up for a share with work discount please consider helping out soon. Workshifts continue through the fall but frequency wanes and workload lessons during the shoulder seasons.

Right now farm focus is on keeping crops happy and healthy during intermittent rainfall and a dry spell, fluctuating temperatures and a weekly return of heat, pest and disease pressures becoming pronounced around the farm, maximum sunshine and resultant aisle maintenance, and the continuation of big plantings needing retrieval. Many thanks to all the members who helped complete the massive garlic and carrot harvests! Our attention now turns to gathering onions, potatoes, and melons, with winter squash close behind.

Please consider signing up for a workshift soon (link below). Thank you to those who have already completed their hours!
