I try to do 4.5 acres here and its a ***** to keep up with weeds! Most of the crops go to our local food bank. ( Midwest Food Bank) and they ship stuff out nationwide to disaster areas when needed. They try to keep what we take in for local use. They told me it was great quality and would be used here. --- guess it made a hit with them.
Some of the people at the food bank that help unload! great guys!
Sis helped too, she tales in 250 pounds of tomatoes almost every day!

Wow, that a lot of harvest right there.
Right now I'm cleaning my backyard and will grow onions and other vegetable.

Got tied up all summer and wasnt on the computer a great lot this year. Had a very dry year this time and none of the harvest wanted to keep so we freeze dried as much as we could to save it for winter.
We just finished up sweet potatoes, regular potatoes and now on to parsnips.
Started freeze drying green beans, then the onions came, after that it was a race between tomatoes and sweetcorn so we been busy.
Running 2 freeze dryers all year. Slow process but about the only way to save stuff.
Made about 100 pints of ketchup and a lot of sauce. Had plenty of juice left from last year so skipped it.
Hauled about 20,000 pounds of veggies to the food bank this year.
Trying to spread compost and get the ground plowed before ground freezes if I can.
