Sunrises

How many sunrises have I seen since I began at Brook Farm? 8 weeks worth...And they have been some of the most beautiful I have seen in my life.

Rooting

Harvesting storage turnips

The first frost has come with all its frigged rain, and now we begin the great root harvest. We've begun collecting everything from carrots, beets, and turnips for storage in the cooler. And we'll distribute them over the next month to members. Something I learned today in my nutrition studies, when you eat roots they help ground and stabilize you. If you're filled with nervous energy, there's nothing better than to eat a sweet potato. In cold weather roast your roots, this helps to add heat and density to your veggies.
