It’s REALLY cold out here—are we really up for this? Are the customers really going to come out in this cold and rain???!

Thank Goodness, and Donna Koger, for this nifty canopy which kept us and the potatoes nice and dry on a rainy day! Randall, Mary Alice and Dylan–Randall’s son who was also a huge help.

Randall and Mary Alice with the other potato girl, Marian. We did a block buster business with many people walking up to take potatoes. Second day’s total brought us to over 12,000 pounds distributed including deliveries in the week to come.
