This week, one of our main activities was reorganizing the wash and pack house. The whole area has gotten a little cluttered since summer and now that it’s winter, we have time to move things around and make it more efficient before the season gets too busy. We began by moving the wash tubs, green spinners, and root wash table into the middle of the wash structure. Before, all of these had been up against one wall and it made moving from one washing step to the other a little difficult. We moved the pack crates onto one side of the house and left the other side bare so that the water could drain out toward that wall. We reorganized a few racks that had things such as cardboard boxes, rubber bands, and plastic bags on them. Zach plans on having a shed built on the farm that will house all of the tools and items that aren’t used on a daily basis so that it can clear up the cluttered areas of the wash and pack house. Here’s some pictures of the progress we’ve made so far.

Previously, there had been a large table in the middle of the house. We replaced it with two smaller tables and it has cleared up the house and makes it easier to walk around in.

We continued our usual seeding and harvesting this week. We seeded spinach, lettuce heads, bok choy, and parsley.
