Transition

Among the things I love about farming is the seasonality.  Though there is much work to do throughout the year on my farm, and I can definitely feel run through the wringer at times, I feel lucky to not be doing the same thing day in and day out.

Next week marks the end of our mainseason CSA, and our winter CSA begins the following week.  We will shift from two CSA harvests each week to just one.  In the fields, cover crop is now germinating on all the crop-free ground, our overwinter crops are established and (at least partially) weeded, and our winter-harvest crops are protected by hoops of rowcovers.  We’re wrapping up the greenhouse plantings of December/January salads, and the wetness of the fields means there’s not much more we can do out there for now.

I’m beginning to spend more time at home, and that certainly feels good!
