CSA Farm Day!!!!!

This morning we had our very first CSA Farm Day! It is incredible how much a whole bunch of eager people can get done in three hours!This is our first season running the farm as a CSA. We have 20 families, and a few folks on a waiting list. We asked, although we didn't require, that our members put in a few hours twice during the 8-week season. and, because the season is not quite upon us (tell that to the potatoes and corn), we didn't know how many would show up to help out this first time.
well, let me tell you....we must have had 15 people or so, and in a single morning, they dug and harvested three rows of potatoes, all of the carrots, weeded the beets, staked and tied the bell peppers..AND performed the fastest cucumber trellising I have ever witnessed! we are beside ourselves with (a) gratefulness and (b) amazement!A very successful start, I'd say. I only hope everyone didn't get too worn out (it was definitely hot).
All in all, everybody worked very hard and remained in good humor....went home with carrots and strawberries, and will be back next week for corn and potatoes. yea CSA!
