What's Happening at Canticle Farm? July Photos Part 2
In the later part of July 2009, the emphasis shifted to harvesting the garlic crop. Vegetables continued to be harvested for the Summer CSA Program, the REAP Olean Farmers' Market and the Farm Stand. Fewer vegetables are seeded, thinned, transplanted as the season progresses.
