This is very nice setup, neatly organized and accessible.
WRT buying directly from the farmers, I mentioned earlier that I was hoping I'd find tomatoes by the bushel/seconds to preserve sauces, since production was low for me this year. From my queries, few places have or sell them -although we have lots of small farms around. At one place, the youngster at the stand said they sometimes have them, for $20 a box -but no idea how big the box is. At another place, the manager said $35 for a 30# box, mix of everything OP, paste and hybrids. I thought that was a bit high for seconds -not trying to deny anyone their pay. I'll check a few more later this month and call it a season.
