PHOTOS FROM THE FARM: 2.21.20

02/21/20 — Ada Broussard

The theme of the week was dictated by the weather at the farm. It was very cold and very rainy, and our farm crew donned all the rain gear the tool shed had to offer. Mud clung to root vegetables like carrots and our boots gained an extra 5 pounds of mud-weight.

Harvesting and processing carrots when it's wet outside is quite the chore - unearthing the long taproots from thick mud without breaking them is skilled task, and washing the carrots covered in sticky mud takes extra long. Photo by Scott David Gordon.

The best spot to work this week? In the warmth of our greenhouse. Here, Greenhouse Manager Giana gets pepper plants ready for the transplant sale. Photo by Scott David Gordon.

Chard leaves and stems are equally edible: chop the stems and use them as a colorful substitution for celery and saute the greens for a silky substitution for spinach. Photo by Scott David Gordon.
