Culmination of Fall

As we head into Fall, many of our endeavors start to culminate. In fact, we have been so busy that I didn't even have time to snap any pictures over the last week. The turkeys are getting big. We will start taking random live weights this week so we can track our projected processed weight. We started doing this 3-4 years ago, and it helps us dial in the last few weeks to get as close as we can to our target weights. As if we weren't busy enough in the Fall, last year we started growing strawberries. We enjoyed it, and our customers/community seemed to like it too. As a result, this year we are growing even more berries than we did last year. This is another thing I should have photographed. We have all the beds formed up, but we haven't laid the plastic yet. Hopefully that will happen this week. The 60,000 strawberry plants will arrive in early October and need to be planted within a few days of arrival. It's a super busy time of year, but a very fun time of year. I'll try to take more pictures this week so we can bring you along on the journey.
