This week is a rather busy week.  We have three farmer's markets (Grayson on Wednesday, Tucker on Thursday, and Brookhaven on Saturday), two restaurant delivery days, and our large group of CSA pick-ups on Wednesday and Friday. Our focus has shifted from planting and weeding to spending most of our time harvesting, washing, bunching, packing etc.  

The harvest dinner on Saturday was amazing. We met some great people and of course indulged in delicious food and wine.  There's a chance we might do another in November before it starts getting too cold, so stay tuned.

Well, bunches of collards and baskets of spinach are calling my name- time to get to harvesting!
