For instance, you can find them chopping wood to keep the fires burning, or helping with boxing and labeling, or baking pies to sell in our farm stand. No matter what they are doing, eventually, you’ll hear them laughing (and probably see them dancing.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff44bec63b83c3d6c04b778/b9cadb00-8cc3-4b93-9a14-10863e417d11/IMG_1271.jpeg About The other two farmers: a little older, a little grayer, a lot sweeter… Timothy has been farming in some way since he was a kid. He’s the main mule in the barn and fields. Whether is he is on a tractor or running the roads delivering sweets, his mind is always working on ways to make things more efficient on the farm. He’s who you want on your side in the zombie apocalypse. Brooke does many of the behind-the-scenes jobs for the farm, as well as take care of the Hughes-Muse day-to-day life, and her own biz: Tree Song Vermont. She keeps track of orders, bagging, communication (as long as it’s email, of course), and anything and everything else. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff44bec63b83c3d6c04b778/1610650422692-M8A51OF73YW3O73UBATL/IMG_6355.JPG About The ones who keep the show on the road … (Updated pic coming soon!)

We bring up slips in June from NC and immediately plant them in soil that has been warmed by plastic mulch since May. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff44bec63b83c3d6c04b778/1610222430591-RPQV8OQ4WG11DDX0YKC6/IMG_7571.jpeg Home - We wait. Once the slips are planted, it is crucial to keep weeds at bay and water flowing to the roots. We also need lots of sunny days. But that, my friends, we can’t control. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff44bec63b83c3d6c04b778/1610651145502-BOTEZ4HFYHN5RNRHH94T/IMG_2729.JPG Home - We wait. We continue to cultivate the wheel tracks to keep weeds out, focus on irrigation, plant next year’s cover crop, and cross our fingers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff44bec63b83c3d6c04b778/1610222970885-72GXFU89VGYMCO8P6NKZ/IMG_3065.JPG Home - We wait. Yep, still waiting and weeding. Eventually, we won’t be able to move through the rows any longer because of the vining sweets. At this point, we start lining up harvest help, and prepping barns for harvest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff44bec63b83c3d6c04b778/1610223244501-IDR79I1IBA5WI98M5518/IMG_8382.jpeg Home - We play. For a few short weeks in August, we check on our cover crop, put up the hammock, and enjoy life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff44bec63b83c3d6c04b778/1610224630925-AG72WFW5H8FTG82O5OII/IMG_8983.jpg Home - We harvest.

Each sweetie is loaded onto a conveyor that washes the dirt off. From here, they are graded (No. 1, fancy, commercial, diced) and stacked in bins. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff44bec63b83c3d6c04b778/1610225364244-V4NOA8BEIH5BRUGECA0N/IMG_8016.jpg Home - We pack.
