Produce

Our produce has really been coming in strong but with the fair we've been pretty busy trying to get things picked and working around the fair. Now that the fair is over we can get back to the business at hand. String beans, squash, cucumbers and peppers are all being actively picked. I really enjoy picking the produce and Sharon enjoys pulling weeds. I'm not sure how someone can enjoy pulling weeds, but why knock something like that! She'll pull weeds for hours on end. Since we don't use herbicides Sharon has plenty of opportunity to do something she enjoys... I think we have more produce than we have figured out how to currently market. The roadside stand folks really want corn and tomatoes which are really not in season yet in NW Iowa. A few people have corn but most don't and since we only sell what comes off of the farm we won't bring it in from other states we have a limited draw of product. Maybe we'll have to change that but we'll need to try some other marketing first.
