Plan Your Work…
…then work your plan. With farming you have to do a lot of planning. With CSA farming, planning takes on a whole ‘nuther level. When growing 40 different types of veggies and 150 different varieties it takes a lot of planning to make it all work. This past week highlights the need for planning. Early […]
