This morning started with work on the farm. The kids and parents went over and picked more tomatoes. We thought we had picked them all yesterday, but it's amazing how much you overlook when you aren't "looking." They came back with more for the share holders and to sell on the farm truck.
Claudia, Christy + I worked on moving a HUGE pile of dirt/wood chips over to spread among the rows of planted vegetables. We shoveled in loads into the wheelbarrow, then took it to the garden, and unloaded and spread. I felt every muscle in my shoulder and arms. I asked for muscles right?!
Then, Christy and I went out on the farm truck with Tyler. Fun! It is like the ice cream truck in that it plays loud world music from a 1950s Ford truck and stops in neighborhoods so people can come out and buy from the impromptu farm stand. How grand. We went around town and then set up in a downtown-like area called Hyde Park so that share holders could come pick up their shares and locals could stop in for whatever caught their eyes. (the others had gone to help with job training that day with the refugees)
We ended the night with $1 taco night with us and some of the CCG staff.
Here are some highlights from the day:
the farm stand in the neighborhood
the farm truck -- how cool?!?
we got some tastes of the watermelon before heading out -- delish!
