September is a big fall harvest month on the farm, at the same time we are looking forward to next season, working in summer cover crops and planting the over winter cover crops and fall grain. With only three weeks left in our main season CSA we are deciding how to divide the harvest amongst our  members and what to set aside for the Fall CSA.

Pumpkin and Squash Harvest with Working Shares

Today CSA working shares helped us bring up our squash and pumpkins from the field. In the afternoon we started to dig our sweet potatoes and have them curing in one of the hoop houses. Amanda spent part of the afternoon tedding the last of our hay for this season.  We are hoping to take it off on Monday, weather providing.
