As our time here at Harvest House draws to a close, it seems only right that we say a few words about our experience. Two weeks ago we were farming novices. Having grown up in London, England, we had had little to no exposure to the ways of life on an organic farm. Now, we're practically experts. Okay, not quite... but we have learned a huge amount from this place and the incredible people that make it what it is.
Here's a little summary of what's been going on here recently: The CSA harvest delivery is now underway, and consequently our past two Thursdays have been spent harvesting and bagging beautiful fresh salad. The fields are also filling up nicely; we've planted cabbages, potatoes, carrots, broccoli, and more. Inga the cow is producing more milk than we've ever seen in our lives, and the team has been hard at work preparing the farm for the summer months in general. A busy few weeks it has certainly been, but busy around here means rewarding.
It's with regret that we leave tomorrow, though we know we can leave safe in the knowledge that we've experienced (and, in some small way, contributed to) something magical.
