Harvesting by Hand

ORG_DSC01603.jpg

On a farm like ours there is a tremendously us amount of hand work. Nigel did an amazing job finding equipment that was appropriate for a farm like Eatwell, not big, but also too small, and one that grows a tremendous variety of crops on this one farm.  The job of researching has fallen through us.  Cameron has already found a handheld lettuce harvester that Jose is interested in. The problem we have to sort out will be weed control. Realistically, that is a problem we have to deal with regardless. In the meantime, getting veggies to you every week still requires a dedicated crew, hands-on in the field.
