Farm hangover

Most of our marketing season is over -- our farmer's markets and CSA ended last week. We are still selling some stuff through our farmstand and to the coop in St. Johnsbury, but for the most part the grow-weed-harvest-wash-sell part of our season is over.

After the go, go, go routine of the veggie high season, it now feels a little like that Sunday morning in high school when my parents inexplicably left my older brother and I home alone for the weekend. Parts of the field are a mess, the washroom is a mess, the tool shop needs to get organized, greenhouse #1 needs to get cleaned out, etc., etc.

Don't get me wrong, it has been a great year. But now the party is over for a few months, and someone needs to go around and pick up the empties.
