Many of you know that Margaret and I got married in August, and we just couldn’t bring ourselves to host another full blown party at the farm in September. Instead, we invited anyone and everyone, but held off on excessive planning (no band, primarily). Despite our lagging, we had a fine turnout and an excellent time: campfire, lots of edamame picking, and lemon cucumber baseball! The photos below come from Noah Jackson of Forest Voices and Merrill Bradshaw of Merrill Bradshaw Carpentry, thank you both for taking photos when neither of us remembered to do so!

We didn’t get many pictures of the work portion of our party, but Cassie did… Thanks for sending these over, Cassie! They’re awesome.

Work Crew!

Harvesting Potatoes.

Dry bean pickin’. Instead of cutting off the entire plant, we decided to use our massive help crew to pick dry bean pods individually. It made sorting the beans from the chaff just that much easier.

Picking edamamae! This would have taken us a full day if we didn’t have all of this help. THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Coda helped with the potatoes by digging. DIG DIG DIG DIG DIG.

We had an awesome time on Sunday! Thanks to everyone who came and worked, came and ate, came and danced. An enormous thank you to Caroline, Brian, and Jeff for their tunes – y’all made the night!

Mmmm potluck. Thanks for amazing food, y’all!
