Ever since we harvested them in September, the beans have been piled up in the greenhouse to complete drying. The next step is to break the pods off the plant and place the pods in a bag.
The next step is Eli’s favorite job on the farm: whack the bag until the beans have separated from the pods.
The beans are then emptied into a bucket, and we winnow them by pouring them back and forth between two buckets in front of a strong fan. Leaves, twigs and dirt get blown away while the beans drop into the other bucket.
Erin moves the turkeys out of the field and into the barn before the snowstorm hits.
A scene from Saturday’s potluck at the farm: the little girls carefully inspecting the chicken tractor for eggs.

Contrasting scenes of life on the farm at 98 degrees. Above: the apprentices weeding CSA onions (they got the rest of the day off, I promise).
Eli and his friend Miguel, running up their slip-and-slide made of greenhouse plastic. Looking at these pictures, we’re not sure why Eli thinks life on the farm is so onerous!
