We got off the farm for a “field” trip to celebrate all the accomplishments of the winter and spring, recognize the hard work, relish the beginning of the summer harvest, and enjoy the fact all farmers on the MSF 2024 season team have arrived. Tim provided an incredible picnic enjoyed by all after a hike up to the top of Bethlehem’s Mount Agassiz, which we learned can be completed even while wearing slip-on sandals. What a view from the top, Cannon and the Franconia Notch are front and center. There are opportunities to connect with each other in the fields, greenhouses, and packing room, however getting to spend some quality time together, where accomplishing the to-do list isn’t the priority was pretty awesome.
Projects vary. Sometimes hours are spent doing a solo job where a podcast, tunes, or sounds of the farm keep you company. Sometimes hours are spent together doing a larger project or harvest where many hands make light work. We recognize though the crops we pull out of the ground have taken many many hours of work over many years, involving many Meadowstone Farm farmers. The crops we provide our customers are grown by all of us.
