We’re extremely thankful to share some positive news this morning: we seem to have made it through the most recent storms relatively unscathed 🙏🏼
We got about 2 inches of water, which brings its own challenges, but we know that it could have and was expected to be a LOT worse. We aren’t seeing any signs of hail damage, and no damage to our corn or other crops from damaging winds.
Hail is a really big concern for us with these weather systems - it can cut open apples on trees, exposing them to more disease and rot, rendering the crop completely useless. It can cut open tomatoes, rip leaves apart on cabbage, completely crush strawberries and raspberries, etc. We’re so thankful to not have gotten any hail last night that some were reporting west of us 🙌🏼
Straight line damaging gusts of wind have historically taken out entire fields of our sweet corn and ripped apple trees out of the ground - we don’t see any damage to any of those things either. It can rip roofs off of buildings and take out structures around the farm. After the forecasted impact, we’re considering ourselves extremely fortunate to not be waking up to these issues!
The summer storm season is far from over - we’ve had damaging hail storms hit us in mid July before - but we’re thankful for making it through this one, and wanted to give you all a happy update!
We’re thankful for all of the people we have supporting our farm, thinking of us when these storms hit, and praying for a good outcome on the other end of them. A lot of you tell us, “I never thought I’d spend so much time watching a radar over someone else’s property”, and we feel the love 🫶🏼
THANK YOU for being behind us! 🙌🏼
