Last week, on my day to work on the farm, it rained. I was planting a couple of rows of bok choy and hurried to finish so the new plants would benefit from the rain after planting. That got me pretty wet, and I went from the fields into the walk-in refrigerator to help pack boxes…but honestly, wet or dry, hot or cold, there’s nothing more satisfying than working in this way, participating in the food chain from seed to table.
When the rain slowed, I went out to one of the other fields where we have a compost pile so I could drop some veggie waste into it. I took a few pictures of the rain-filled clouds over the fields that back into a forest preserve. So beautiful. It fills my soul.
