Opening Weekend: One for the record books

A new opening-day harvest record was achieved by a modestly numbered, but very proficient picking crowed: 2100 lbs were hauled off the farm in containers (not sure how much was hauled away in stomachs) on Saturday, July 28th.  Surprisingly, Sunday's pickers could not tell that anyone picked on Saturday.  The numbers for today are not in yet, but given the number of pickers today and the quantities harvested (one family from Bruce Crossing weighed in at almost 140 lbs in 4 hrs this morning), we should be able to report a harvest that rivals, maybe exceeds, opening-day harvests from years past.  It looks like the picking is going to remain awesome, at least through the weekend.  I won't be able to update the blog until Thursday.  Picking should be fine through then.
