Out with the Flu - Great to have good help!

In general, the farmers I know are the type of folks who don’t get sick very often.  It’s extremely hard to be out of action when the harvests are demanding, and you already have a giant backlog of work.  I managed to make it clear to the end of our mainseason CSA harvests, but by the end of last Friday, I was out.  I had a fever and couldn’t do anything for 5 days, and finally felt better just in time for Thanksgiving (yes!).

During that time, though, the farm still had to bring in a pretty big  harvest - the first of the winter CSA pick-ups - and I am super-grateful to have a good crew.  They already knew how to harvest and prep most of the items, and they worked extra-hard to pull it all off without me.  Here’s to Scott, Will, Jess, & Molly!!
