We tend to set two goals for ourselves. The first is a number we think is reasonable AND should provide us with plenty to meet obligations (CSA, etc) and provide additional sales opportunities. The second is a goal we think we really have to get in order to just meet obligations. Additional sales would be minimal in that case.
All numbers with * are subject to change as the season continues.

What's With All of the * ?
We continue to get a bit better with extending our Fall crops in high tunnels and out in the field. Granted, the warm Fall has helped us a great deal and we haven't had to do too much other than irrigate to keep some of these crops going well. But, there are a few things that are surprising to see the asterisk. Who would have thought we'd continue to harvest tomatoes and peppers in early November. These ARE from the high tunnel, but if you take a look, they aren't just ugly little wanna-be's.
