PHOTOS FROM THE FARM: 5.21.21
05/21/21 — Ada Broussard
It's been a wet few weeks at the farm, and we find all the dry moments to get things done. This week, we made a big push to get our beets out of the ground and into storage. Left in the ground, they would be in danger of rot and pest destruction. Stored safely in our cooler, and we've got beets for weeks.

Planting basil in between rows of tomatoes is a nice way to invite in a bit of airflow, which can not only help keep the plants healthy but our staff happy. It gets hot in those tomato rows come mid-June! Photo by Scott David Gordon.

Do you love leeks at much as we do? Unlike onions, we don't cure them, and so their seasonal moment is rather brief. Photo by Scott David Gordon.

Spring cabbages are always a bit smaller than their fall counterparts. We love them just the same. Photo by Scott David Gordon.

The shade provided by this harvest trailer is a big deal. Once we harvest a sensitive crop like cabbage, it gets put into the shade immediely where it begins to cool down before being placed in the coolers. Photo by Scott David Gordon.
