Farm photography: Early summer planting at Whistling Wolf Farm

Another installment  in our ongoing farm photography project about Whistling Wolf Farm: these are photographs from mid-May, when farmer Helen Chandler was very busy planting early summer crops in the field. On this particular day she planted tomato seedlings in the hoop house, and bush variety bean plants in the field. As she and her helper Doug planted beans, they sang a little ditty:

Beans, beans, the miracle fruit

The more you eat, the more you toot

The more you toot, the better you feel

So eat some beans at every meal.

Around mid-day, Helen, Doug, and Exie took a well-deserved lunch break at the Whistling Wolf Cafe….

Visit Helen at the Metuchen Farmers Market, every Saturday from 9 am to 2 pm (you might be able to buy some of those beans she planted!).
