This week I'd like to give you an idea of what we do to prep for market because we are very busy Friday nights and Saturday mornings. We try to pick most of what we will sell at market on Friday night and get it ready to make Saturday a bit less hectic.
Anne and Liz usually come over to Endeavor Farm on Friday evenings to help get ready for market and last week we picked cabbage, salad mix, beets, and flowers. Saturday mornings are reserved for the more delicate things like kale, herbs, and head lettuce. We like to pick that right before we go to market to make sure it is good and fresh. Last year Bev and Terry bought an extra fridge so that we would be able to store the picked produce until it is time to sell it at market.

After we pick the produce we get it ready to sell by bunching it or bagging it, depending on what it is.

Friday market prep is always a good excuse to have a nice family meal and Saturday morning breakfast is something we always make time for, no matter how busy we are!
