Great explanation of the process...we too run a "truck farm" serving most of the local restaurants with fresh veggies...we also allow to locals to harvest left over goodies either privately or or as a support for those in need of a helping hand...my favorite above all else is persimmon collecting season...the season is short and fruit must be collected after the first frost of the season...otherwise they taste like like a dose of alum...and ya gotta beat the deer them...deer LOVE persimmons...btw, these aren't the typical Japanese persimmons you see in the markets...they are are the native varieties...frozen the persimmons will last at least a winter and make great persimmon puddings/breads/etc...!!!

Oh yes we allow locals to harvest certain crops such as tomatoes when they are winding down , as well as donate a lot to the local food bank. I never really gained a taste for persimmon , my grandfather had a tree when i was very young , my grandmother was always making something out of them . I am interested in growing some PAW PAW trees in the next few years , and raising the type that taste like mango .
