Potato and onion harvest

Harvesting potatoes was a community event this year.  Especially with the record harvest this year, we were grateful for the help.  Here is Steve plowing out the taters.

We even had some young people join in the pickup.

Lea, our current WWOOFer from France picked up pounds and pounds of them.

Helping Visitors

We've had a string of visitors come stay on the farm and help out this year, starting with Gildas (pictured weeding the strawberry patch), followed by Tim (whose picture we failed to take -- didn't mean to leave you out, Tim!), then Zeke (pictured milking the cow), and most recently Melanie (tying up onions).  Thank you again for the help!  We very much enjoyed the time we got to spend with each of you on the farm.  Keep in touch, and come visit whenever you get the chance! 

Helping Hands

 

We just signed up as a host WWOOF Farm a few months ago but have been blessed with "willing workers" since.  Shane and Sarah spent two weeks with us, the start of a series of WWOOF farm visits for them.  We are grateful for their help!
