I haven't been very good about getting updates up on here, except for little posts about the actual shares. This is definitely testament to how busy we've been in the fields. Yesterday I finally got the new boxes built (except for the lids), and printed. Last week we set up irrigation by coming out to the farm for an extra day. There's been a lot of extra work setting up new systems this year, but I think we're starting to catch up a little.
Having the boxes finished, and new bags (which I'll post a photo of soon) means we'll start delivering in cloth bags this week, and putting those bags into the new boxes! This is exciting as we've been making do with plastic produce bags, which are harder for us to pack into, and the old Slow Hand Farm boxes, which we don't have enough of, and are starting to get a bit worn out (not to mention they don't say "Our Table"!)

I've been spending a lot of extra time on the boxes and other little fiddly things around the farm, but we're still getting a good amount of field work done. That field work hasn't included much time for photography unfortunately so here's a week old photo from the first irrigation using Nelson Windfighter sprinklers. We now also have drip set up on the recently planted onions, shallots, herbs, chard and kale!
