Bumper Crop

by Georgia B

This week in sustag we harvested lettuce and chard and delivered it to teachers around campus. The lettuce and chard is growing in beds A15 and A16. This lettuce was also harvested and was used in the farm to fork in class on friday. It was fun to be able to grow and harvest produce from the farm and deliver it to teachers around campus. They all really appreciated getting organic lettuce and chard grown right from the farm. It was exciting to be able to deliver fresh produce to them that we had seen grow and flourish right on the farm and know that they were going to use it. It was fun to see how the lettuce and chard that was growing in these beds flourished and we were able to harvest bundles of it and know that it was gonna go to good use. Compared to other beds on the farm, these two seem to be doing exceptionally well and it was amazing to see how fast the lettuce and chard seemed to grow. Although I personally did not plant the lettuce or chard, it it always uplifting to see when certain produce or plants do well on the farm and this is definitely one that will last for a while.
