Written April 13th
Friday was spent getting ready for market for most of the day. Robyn and I harvested a medley of kale, broccoli and collard greens to make a fantastic looking braising mix. We also bunched kale, broccoli raab, garlic greens, and collard greens. Hamilton spent the morning cleaning off potatoes that have been stored since last fall, there were about five different varieties. We spent some time washing, bagging and bunching everything to be ready to sell at the first farmers market of the year. The afternoon was spent weeding, pruning grapes (it never ends!) and practicing driving the horses around Betsey's farm.
We are trying to start a weekly tradition with all of the farmers in the area by having community dinners every friday night. Fridays are going to be one of the longest days, and we all have to be up and ready early on Saturday mornings. So after work Hamilton and I worked to prepare fish tacos with some halibut that betsey had laying around. It was such a perfect evening with an amazing sunset over the mountains. We got the bonfire going and had a great time getting to know each other some more.
