I was kidnapped this morning by Sandy the owner, he introduced me to a couple of people then we went to the field in Newman to cover up the potatoes (what the tiller wasn't able to). He said that Burge farm has been around for three years and had been losing money but this year Cory thinks it'll break even. Sandy purchased the tractor, two walk-in fridge's for Barntop etc. so he spent a lot on the front end. Where we planted the potatoes he wants to eventually sell that land and house for someone to start an organic farm of their own, the potatoes are kind of like a experiment...and something about a tax deduction.

The next half of the morning we had the glamorous job of rolling up 20 rolls of drip tape, which Daniel invented a wheel to help out with that feat. After lunch we planted fennel (very delicate), cauliflower, and squash. We discovered Jason the intern can not drive stick either (side note: Jason the boyfriend taught me basics but no way am I telling them and try to drive their truck up and down the fields) so Cory said it's like driver's ed for interns cause last years didn't know as well! We ended the day planting seedling Zinnia, Bok Choy, Broccoli, and Brassicas.
