Last Market finito

I went to the last Tuesday market in Nevada City today.  It was a busy market.  So many people came out.  We haven’t had such a busy market all year.  It was nice to end it with plenty of shoppers.

For my part, I brought lots of kale, chard, eggplant, peppers, lettuce mix, winter squash, cherry tomatos, peas, basil, celery and broccoli.

It was a nice close to the season for me.  Although, I have a solid week of work before the season is over for me.

Honestly, these last two months have been completely busy and nearly overwhelming for me.  Not a “scary’ overwhelming, like in April when I was freaked out about the CSA and didn’t think I would be able to shepherd all this food into 24 weeks of 30 boxes.  It’s been overwhelming as of late with the shear volume of work.  Every day of the week is harvesting, or preparing the new 10 acres with irrigation.  We’re coming close to finishing the irrigation and getting the cover crop in, along with some rock phosphate.

I’m pretty much exhausted, but in a good mental space.  I’m dearly looking forward to some rest, and sleeping in.  Farming’s a lot of work, and it doesn’t stop.  You have to know that.
