First of all, we are doing a LOT of the things that come naturally to us as vegetable farmers—washing hands, social distancing, and planting all the things. The greenhouse is up and humming, high tunnel planting started, and we are seeding up a storm, because that’s what farmers do. We all need to eat, and our goal is to do our best to keep providing healthy, delicious food to you, our community. But like you, we are watching the news, worried about how Covid-19 might impact our older or immune-compromised family and friends, those with underlying health issues, or the many of us with jobs where you can’t work from home or take a leave from. We worry about the cracks showing in our fragile health care system and the household finances affected by the economy. Yet it’s spring, and so we plant (or in Matt’s case, help Critz Farm make maple syrup). Having worked before as a farm food safety educator, I sat through a slew of trainings and helped write a lot of farm food risk management plans. One of those trainers (thank you, Betsy!) emphasized that while you hopefully never need an emergency plan, when s#@! goes down, you will be thankful to have thought about it.
