Halloween Harvest ~ October 31

We started off the morning at the Terraces under a fairly overcast sky. 




    


We harvested and processed some of the sorghum sweetgrass stalks to hand out as Halloween candy at the market. The sorghum is full of sugary syrup which makes it a tasty treat.


After the sorghum cutting we went to the orchard to continue the harvest. The sun broke out of the clouds and it warmed up a little (to ~10 degrees C). 
We harvested beets, carrots, brussels, leeks and potatoes. 




We cleaned them up for market and then proceeded to clear away the brassica and corn to make room for a garlic planting. It was a short but sweet Halloween morning.


Heres a fun video of some people making sorghum syrup!
