PHOTOS FROM THE FARM: 10.2.2020

10/02/20 — Ada Broussard

This week on our main blog post we're talking about the seasonal transition we're currently experiencing at the farm. Cool-weather crops abound, and the abundance of collards and kale will soon surpass that of warm-weather vegetables like eggplant and okra. But for now, everyone exists together in perfect harmony. Thanks for capturing this exciting moment in the season, Scott!
