A Wacky Kiler Canyon Wednesday

This morning I joined my Kiler Canyon Farm family for the weekly harvest after missing it last week. Below is a photographic record of today's harvest morning.

There are actually several people hidden in that amaranth in the middle distance...

...there were four to be exact.

The flowers were out in full force today.

I believe I am starting to fall in love with amaranth.

View back at the farm structures from the amaranth patch.

The packing shed.

Partially-filled share baskets.

Now with carrot bunches added.

Salsa baskets

Dan putting the finishing touches on breakfast with Tequila conducting quality control operations from the floor.

Dan The Man around the time he said I was an easy mark... but forgot the man with the camera has the last word.

Back to work after breakfast.

"Where we going next, Daddy?"

Getting the lids on at the end can get interesting given how much gets crammed in the share baskets.

Claire and Chaponica bringing baskets for Kaleen to load inside while I do nothing to help.

Tequila was all over the place today.

Basket case veggies were fed to the pigs....

... by guest Elsie.

This is the stud pig of the farm... and he knows it.

Three species here: porcines, bovines, and McNuggets.

Quill's legendary SideGlanceStinkEye.

Before today I had never seen a treehouse suspended by straps.
