we spent much of our halloween day out with friends at a small, organic u-pick csa farm in marin. just imagine--a sweet, 1-acre farm in a regular neighborhood, completely tucked away and unexpected. run largely by a very nice, and very generous 87 year old man and his 84 year old wife. a u-pick farm that works on the honor system--pick your produce, weigh your produce, leave your money in the cash box.
really.
we weren't really there to do too much harvesting, as the farm is mostly in transition from summer to fall. tomatoes are rotting on the vine, while winter veggies are just getting going. we were mostly there to celebrate autumn, let the kids run wild, and meet the farmer jerry, the man behind the place.
of course, we had to feed the chickens...
play a bit in the squash pile...
and do a good bit of serious searching for things to take home.
there was good old fashioned farm fun (real lizzards are always a treat--especially to little witches playing tricks)...
we got good & dirty, like all good farmers should...
and channeled our inner raccoons by crawling around on all fours as much as possible.
ahh, dirt is so good. hope your halloween was not too tricky!
