Just over two weeks have passed since October 7th.
In a certain sense, it feels as if time has stood still since that terrible day, the world has turned asunder, and things cannot continue at their normal rhythm and flow. And yet, in the field, the days trickle by one after the other, showers scatter from the heavens, autumn winds blow, the summer vegetables complete their tasks and gradually give way to the autumn and winter vegetables. The vegetables in the boxes have been joined by cool-weather greens – tatsoi and arugula, and the autumn roots of carrot, beetroot, radish, turnip, and daikon. Nature’s cycle of life continues, despite the actions of humans, while growth is steady and ceaseless.
We have no words in these difficult days. We send you love and vegetables, in the hope that they will boost resilience and rejuvenation for us all.
