Week 14 September 25th

We spent the last two Sundays and Mondays harvesting our cooperative winter squash and sweet potatoes up at the Albany Town Forest. It was an amazing haul of food, we figure about 7,000lbs of sweet potatoes (split between 3 farms), and probably that or more in squash. Kyle had help on the Sundays from our neighbor, and I joined him Mondays when the kids were in school/daycare. The other farms brought a mix of volunteers and paid crew, so it was a fun large group of people working on harvesting and cleaning up over the course of those days. Now all the food is curing in our Seedhouse, staying hot for a few weeks so the skin hardens, and the flesh sweetens. Next, we will move it to various locations around our house and garage loft, and Ill miss how our mudroom feels spacious without boxes of food.

Thank you all for joining us this summer, we appreciate your support and hope to see you again next year. If youll miss fresh food too much until then:
