Another fast week of amazing harvest…and still shaggy around the edges! Priorities….HUGE! harvest loads take time and we are thrilled with the yields. No disappointments here. We are focusing on potato digging and loved the variety this week. Upstate Abundance is a new favorite I think.

Hand dug potatoes this week. A great yield. This variety is new to us. Upstate Abundance. We tested 20 pounds and love them.
The watermelon harvest was a surprise as we thought a week or 2 out. More in the field so more to come.

Slice tomatoes are hitting now and we are happy with our supply. We harvest every other day. Hopefully a few more weeks to come.
