Irene and delivery update
Posted 8/28/2011 9:30pm by Michael Smith.
There will be a delivery this week to all locations. We are able to get to the tomato house by walking around through the hayfield, and the corn is in a different field, undamaged, but surrounded by water. So the share will be tomaoes and corn, which in my part of the south would be a meal by itself that said summer, loud and clear.
We hope everyone stayed dry and didn't lose their power. We stayed in except for a couple of trips around the block to check water levels.
The water rose rapidly this afternoon and flowed across the field. I had sand bagged the field road, which prevented the main force of the water washing out the North side of the field and filling the tomato house with mud. The water came across the west side along the brook in a broad strip a foot or more deep (over my boots!), and flowed the length of the field and back into the brook.
There are more photos on the website. We won't be able to determine the condition of the crops in the field until probably Wednesday, and will let everyone know more then.
The newsletter will not go out this week.
Everyone enjoy,
Michael
