Another Friday harvest day and market

On Fridays, the Agriculture Club harvests produce during recess and sells it at our farm stand during dismissal.  Another bountiful harvest and a successful market!

In this video, Brian harvests Good Mother Stallard beans.  We wait until the pods have dried out to harvest the beans, which can be stored for months.

Here's a clip of Walter harvesting a cabbage.  You can tell it's ready for harvest when the head is nice and firm, even if it's still pretty small.

Brian demonstrates how to harvest shiitake mushrooms in this video clip.

In this video, Walter harvests a patty pan squash.  Everyone says they look like UFOs.

 Ginger is ready for harvest.

Walter cuts off the stalks, then we dig up the roots.

Brian and Walter show off the ginger plant.  We'll break off a piece and replant it so we can harvest again next year.

The weather is beautiful and we have a beautiful harvest to share with the CJA community.

Students smell the delightful aroma of fresh ginger root.
