8/30/10 - Asian Pears

Mathew is a good one to go out and test the ripeness of fruit.

He checked the Asian Pears yesterday...

then he picked a lug of them...

took some to my sister...

and brought some home.

~Christina...needs to try one so she knows what they taste like!

8/29/10 - Supper at home

Mathew and I have not eaten at home very much this summer (you know being at the farm and all so much) and we have even at our table together even less.

We miss it dreadfully and are looking forward to winter for that reason alone...(we tend to eat better in the winter).

But on Sunday Mathew said that I should make dinner for when he got home. Ummm...it was better than a date out.

Yum.

~Christina...just in case you didn't know, I LOVE Mathew Gelder!

8/28/10 - Consulting the market list

When we return from market on Saturday's each market has to record what they brought back. Generally we do this when unload and count the lugs. Suzanne and Jim currently manage a market together so this is a shot of them consulting their binder on Saturday.

~Christina...who didn't feel very well and skipped her form this week, shhh

8/27/10 - Bountiful Harvest

Suzanne wanted some fruit promotional shots so we grabbed some shots real quick on Friday. The reason is simply because there was so much variety ripe at one time.

Today - Golden Raspberries

Remember yesterday? You know when I had my honey drive me out to the golden raspberries and then I ended up posting an apple shot.

Well today I had to go back. I was strong as I drove past all the chestnuts and apples and bins, have I mentioned that I simply cannot get enough of autumn/apple season and all of its picturesque views? Oh yeah, maybe a few times ;) SO I only took pictures of the golden raspberries. They were literally glowing. The light on them is just pure awsomeness.

Enjoy!

~Christina...who does like raspberries too, just not as much as apples

8/25/10 - Apple Season!!!

On our way home tonight I had Mathew take me by the raspberry patch to take pictures of the golden raspberries. They were nice, I took some good pictures of them. But then as I left I saw a beautiful sight! Apples all picked and gorgeous. I LOVE apple season! I mean really, it is my FAVORITE time of year.

SO you get to feast your eyes on apples in bulk boxes...yum.

~Christina...who loves sunflare, in case you hadn't noticed yet!

8/24/10 - Scary...huh?

Fruit has some natural predators. You know besides humans!

We must do everything we can to keep the bugs, mold, fungus, and BIRDS away from the ripe produce so that it can make its way to you. This funny looking beach ball type ornament thingy is one of the bird deterrents. It is currently at home in one of the blueberry patches.
