This Is What Happens After the Last Harvest

#farming#agriculture

The final harvest may be over, but there’s still plenty to do around the farm.

In today’s video, we start cleaning up one of our greenhouses, flush out the hydroponic feed lines, remove tomato twine and stakes from the field, take down our greenhouse shade cloths, and start getting the fields cleaned up before winter.

I also show the small greenhouse we recently sold and are beginning to dismantle, along with some of the other cleanup work that needs to happen while the weather is still nice and I still have help around the farm.

It’s always a little bittersweet watching another vegetable season come to an end, especially when it finishes a week or two earlier than we had hoped. But after months of planting, harvesting, packing trucks, managing markets, and working long days, it’s also nice to finally take a deep breath, catch up on some much-needed rest, and enjoy a little slower pace.

There’s still plenty happening around here, and I’m also getting ready to visit some other farming operations before winter settles in. For now, though, it feels good to have the greenhouses cleaned up and the farm starting to look like a clean slate again.
