We were so gratefully to hear from so many friends and customers last week offering their support as we deal with the crumby weather we’ve been having. In a lot of ways, this is par for the course—farmers plant their fields with optimism and enthusiasm each year and diligently tend their crops as the early seasons’ potential slowly becomes reality—for better or worse. While we’ve been getting walloped with heavy rains, farm friends a few hours north of us are looking at bumper crops, it all depends on the specific regions’ micro-climate. It looks like we’ll end up having one of the wettest July’s on record here in Columbia County, NY, and we’ve been thinking a lot about how we can mitigate a future season like this one.
