Farm News
This week on the farm the Olympic games began! Things were a little slow with some inclement weather delaying things a bit, but once things got going, they really got going. The women's team received a gold metal in Pepper Harvesting, while the men took home the gold for Composting the high tunnels. The new innovative trophies have been enjoyed immensely by the farmers (in the form of luscious ripe melon slices).
It has also been a close competition between our weed-whacking champions Charlton and Vinny, as they battled it out in the Synchronized Whack Attack event -- highly dangerous, yet ever so spectacular. The Tomato-Stringing Relay was nothing short of riveting, being brought to a brutal finish and a TIE between competitors Mike and Christine. It really put KNOTS in your stomach, if you know what I mean!
