Hand Harvesting

Many farms have become mechanized. You should see the space age looking rigs they use around us for harvesting tomatoes!  But here at Eatwell, everything is still picked by hand.  Our crew is out in the fields rain or shine, cold or miserably hot, picking every item that goes into those CSA boxes.  They are efficient and dedicated.  When Nigel and I got out onto the farm they were harvesting radishes.  It was a stellar morning, the sun shining, no wind, not cold, not hot, and the radishes look gorgeous!  The rain that we have had clearly has done a lot of good, as all of the newer crops are looking fantastic.  These radishes are big and beautifully radish red, just waiting for a salad.
