Peak of the Harvest

Today Matt and Joanna pulled all of the pallets off the truck and lined them up across from the stall. Before we put them all away, Matt took a moment to look from upstairs, and we saw a pretty breathtaking sight.
About 10 farmers picked all this produce; every single piece was touched by someone.
About 8 produce clerks will put it out with care over the next 3 days,
6 cashiers will ring each piece and pound through,
...and it will all leave the building in plastic, cloth, and paper bags, carried by hand to hundreds of tables across the city.

This is why we do what we do!
