Changes!
Over the years the two most common changes our customers have asked for have been pick-ups on a day other then Friday and more tomatoes. We have been on the same harvest schedule for about 15 years. For the most part it works for us. When the kids were little I needed that Wednesday at the house to wash diapers and give my body a break from carrying other tiny bodies. Something changed this spring and I'm not sure what it was, but all of a sudden I could see how a Tuesday and Thursday pick up could work. We have thought about it every which way possible and logistically we know at this point the thing that will make it hard is something we have not even thought of. The truck is not double booked and the wash station can handle two processing lines. Wednesdays may be challenging trying to get the morning harvest in for the CSA and getting the People's market produce ready. But with a very deep, pensive breath...we are going to go for it. Next year's veggie pick-ups will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Whoa.
The thing you have not been asking us to do, is raise our prices. We want to pay our employees more. We want to have folks who work with us for multiple seasons and can support themselves and their families here in the Tetons. We also want to put some money away for big farm improvements. A hay shed, another greenhouse, fencing and tool storage. It works out to $3 more a week (less then $2 a week for a half share!) and as your farmers, we are going to ask for this to help the farm run better.
And of course...back to the tomatoes! We are really hoping to be able to purchase another greenhouse this fall, which will mean more tomatoes. Jed promised the last greenhouse he built would be the last one ever, but those red things really are the best and we want you to have more.
Maybe those changes don't feel that big to you, but we are feeling excited and nervous. We want it to work for you and for us. The logistics of how the farm runs have evolved over the years as the farm has grown, finding the right moments to do each thing. For the most part we can get it all done on a weekly rhythm that Jed and I have lived for a decade and a half. We want this to work because it is important to you and you are important to us.
