Clean-up
This easy weather has allowed us to get our fall field work done early and clean up around the maple syrup equipment months ahead of time--we are pleased.
This year we were able to enjoy the produce expos much better, because we did not have to think about all the work left at the farms. From 8:30 a.m. till 4:00 p.m. we sat in seminars--they were not bad except for the last ones each day--that is when your head starts to nod as ones eyes get heavy. But, we got through it and added to our knowledge of growing.
Between sessions the trade show was packed with suppliers and dealers of produce products. Here is when we reinforced old alliances and forged new ones. For 15 years our produce farm has been going and it is amazing how many people(companies) we know and deal with.
Evenings was always fun, every night we tried new restaurants with our friends--during the season all of us are to uptight and to busy to socialize. But, at the end of the season when the work is done,or near completed we make up for it.
The seed orders are done for next year and sent off--now what.
