Today, three GoodGymers made their way down to Kirkstall Valley Farm to help out with harvesting some courgettes for the season as well as clearing out weeds that had grown around the carrots.
A lot of the courgettes had already been harvested so we made very quick work of that and Jack and myself only managed to collect small 4-6 inch courgettes whilst Emily made her but with a large foot long courgette. After we wrapped that up very quickly, we made our way down the field where the carrots were being grown. They were not yet ready for harvesting, we had to clear out a lot of the plants and weeds that were growing around them (as well as the occasional misplaced potato).
As we were doing this, a very hippie style festival was taking place at the farm, with some interesting music. They were interested in extending their vibes to 'small amounts of sexy people' - the great start of a great cult and I wish them all the luck.
We finished the day by taking home some farm-grown vegetables, thank you Kirkstall Valley Farm.
Warm welcome to Emily and hope to see her at future sessions.
