Arctic Organics Week Eight

August 7
Amazing vegetable growing weather!
This is dream weather for farmers: solid rain showers with beautiful sunny days in between. We have certainly paid our dues with les than ideal weather in the past. We had a couple of days off at Tangle Lakes this past weekend, so what do we do for fun? Pick blueberries! As if we don’t get enough picking in already! We savored the time away from the farm, as we are heading into the busiest part of the season, when, ironically, the crew thins out as they head back to school.

*Produce “cycling”When we have sugarsnap peas, cucumbers, tomatoes or other crops that we can’t supply to all of the subscribers in one week, we will rotate through the subscribers, using color coding on the checklist (in Anchorage), or by assigning them to an entire pick-up location. This ensures that every member gets its share.
