Autumn Update







Fall is here, and it is somewhat rainy but with days and patches of sunlight. There is alot of harvesting happening. Tomatoes, eggplant, string beans, pepper, cucumbers, plenty of steamed greens, steady supply of salad greens.... The meals at the centre are mostly from the garden and are so fresh and delicious! 


Cover crops of buckwheat were scythed, market every Tuesday, seeds are being collected. The seeds shown here are quinoa plants! Hazel made a beautiful farm stand sandwich board as a road advertisement.

Dry Peas


The soup peas died back and we collected them all, now they are sitting around in large bundles drying out. The problem is the prop house is really old and it has been raining alot lately so there is some major leakage happening. The peas are constantly damp, which is not ideal for harvesting seed. 

Divia, the woman in burgandy helped out for a bit. She is a strong force and also hilarious.
