Such an exciting day I had to write in the blog a day earlier that usual! First of all, the Meet the Farmers page on the web site is updated to include yours truly. . .

Second, the (sugar) snap peas are ready and we took our first harvest this morning!!! They are very tasty and I encourage everyone to find their farmer's market and pick up some of this amazingly sweet treat. They should be appearing soon if not already. I have a memory of being at the Newtown, CT farmer's market last season and grabbing a bag of these for the first time, the incredible taste and flavor is heavenly. Like I said, go get some. . after you finish reading the blog post of course.

The parsley is in full force, we are harvesting more than the kitchen knows what to do with! We are making pizza tonight with the interns so hopefully we can make some yummy parsley pesto, anyone have other amazing recipes that highlight this delight?

Pipe change; this is nothing new. I needed a third "P" w42ord. Moving lots of large pipes around is something we do multiple times a day (4 times yesterday between the garden and fields).

Below is a picture of us unloading pipes from the trailer to set up a new line in a portion of the field. Typically, 7 or so of us move portions of the line together forward in the field. Once we reach the end of the field, we separate all the pipes, load them on the trailer and move to the beginning of the field or a new field entirely.

Did I mention we are 97% sure the spider I found in the living room the other day was a black widow? Well yeah, no worries because it is a goner now.

Well, time for a little break before heading back to work. Talk to ya'll soon!

Love,
