Veggie farming is good for you!

For those of you who haven't worked on a veggie farm before, there is really no way to explain how dirty you get. When we hire people who haven't worked on veggie farms before, we suggest they go spend $20 at Goodwill on a couple of farm outfits that will get totally trashed over the course of the season. And as the season grinds on, dirt gets everywhere -- in the car, permanently under your fingers, in the house, in the truck, in your teeth, etc.

I don't mean to complain. One of the reasons we like veggie farming is because we like getting dirty and playing in the mud. But now it turns out that the mud is good for you! More dirt and mud for everyone!

Hmmm, maybe we should start charging people to work here as some sort of health retreat . . .
