Lizz having WAY too much fun planting garlic
Garlic seed cracked and ready to plant
Happy Halloween! November is upon us! We are planting garlic. Three markets ended and three continue. Things are slowing down- kind of. Lots of storage crops yet to harvest. Lots of clean-up. We are grateful for the above freezing temperatures. We would like a little less rain, but are grateful that it is gentle. Our plants are still growing. We are watching the plants in the hoop houses rise and thrive. Yes, they got in a little late, but these warm, although gray, days are bringing them up!
This is Brianna and Tony's last week on the farm. They worked so hard this year and made Lake Divide farm run so much better because of it. Brianna's intense focus on details and order improved the workflow on harvest days immensely. Tony's quick moves in the field helped us shorten many a long day. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them both this year and I can't wait to see what they do next! And this is how we build our farm family.
We are also excited to say that Lizz will be staying on with us through the winter! It is pretty exciting to be able to keep one person on staff through our leanest times. More on team building later, but for now, I have got to get back out to garlic!
All the best!
