Holy crap – incoming winter farm share: What’s in the October 23rd share? Picadilly FarmSweet potatoes, 4 pounds. Another record-breaking harvest this year! We’re looking at a tremendous year for sweeties, with excellent flavor. We planted two varieties this year, and it’s the Covington’s that…
Last week I was in MI for redmeds med school 10 year reunion. We spent the whole trip driving back and forth to see various family and friends. Logged 800 miles on the rental car in four days. Hung out with two different sets of…
