On Thursday, Mark and Debbie took just-picked spinach and kale to the Healthy Business Mixer, a Chamber of Commerce event that was held in the
ProJet hangar at the Leesburg airport. The woman in the photo above was so surprised by the taste of fresh spring kale that she decided to join the Wine'ing Butcher group site in Ashburn.
On Sunday, Great Country Farms will have a table at the Superhero 5K, a Chamber of Commerce benefit race which will donate its proceeds to
Mobile Hope.
Come on out to
Bolen Park in your GCF tee shirt to show the farm's support for this cause.
Farm Notes
The field crew returned from Mexico last week, and they're hard at work already. If you see them around and you speak and Spanish, stop and ask them how their winter was.
We're you-picking beautiful spinach and kale, asparagus is coming up across the road, and the strawberries look great. This week Mark and the crew planted four new varieties of peaches and three new varieties of apples. It's a good week to be a farmhand.
Reminder
We've posted this year's edition of the employee
handbook on our website; please read it before you come to work, and bring a copy of the signature page along with you. Also please be sure to check the schedule regularly so you know when you're working. And the weather is unpredictable at this time of year, so you might want to wear long sleeves under your GCF tee shirt.
Let's get out there and create memorable moments!
