The rising sun burning through what remained of the morning fog. |
Kay tending her assigned section of a crop row. |
I believe those are tomatoes. |
Thatch is so much more charming than shade netting. |
Nice example of crop rotation. |
Kay and Chaponica harvesting. |
A root cellar I assume. |
Obviously I love oaks. |
Something being dried I assume. |
Outhouse or smokehouse? |
Ahhhh |
Red and yellow |
These are even more flavorful than the ones above! |
The male component of today's gang at work in the packing house. |
Mixed plantings are a great idea! |
The farm is 100% off the grid! |
The entire crew sans me (of course). |
Quill risking his life checking that the tomatoes are safe to eat! |
The two host families (both Trimmell) treat the weekly work crew to breakfast each harvest morning of the growing season. The food and company and general ambiance are warm and wonderful. |
The bread that issues forth from This-Oven-That-Quill-Built is manna from heaven... in particular, the rosemary and polenta for which I would gladly sell my birthright. |

Thanks Kim for that exciting tour through the farm! It has been a pleasure having both you and Kay. Your hard work, lively conversation, and obvious zest for fun have been a great addition to harvest mornings!
