Aug 1 - Market Day

Market Day started out early bagging 34 one pound bags of beans, 12 one pound bags of peas by 8:15 followed by a 45 minute drive to Auburn Market to pick up two 20 pound boxes of peaches from Illinois, two 20 pound boxes of tomatoes and 4 muskmelon. The biggest and sweetest muskmelon ever! Weighed in at 11.5-13 pounds! Then met Tom at the Market Building to unload tomatoes and peaches, as he brought other unrefrigerated product to put out. Then back to the farm to clean and bunch green onions.

About 2:40 it was time to load up produce including 26 dozen sweet corn! Big Red, the truck, was loaded! As well as Joni’s can with rye bread, cookie, lemonade,  ups, signs, of course Aubree’s Grand Champion ribbon! Unfortunately I didn’t get a picture of Aubree and her goodies, maybe this next week!

Great day at the market but more in line of a normal day, unlike last week that was phenomenal!

Weather report: high 80s

Truck is packed!
