Goings on at America’s Grow-a-Row:
It’s been a wild and crazy summer, to say the least.  We’ve broken two records already with 15,000 pounds of sweet corn picked in one night by 60+ volunteers and another 18,000 pounds picked over 3 days the following week.  After last year’s lousy weather and devastating hailstorm, this is a real blessing.  We’ll be in the fields picking until at least early November.  Although our “y’all come” pickings will start to slow down in a few weeks, we are lining up corporate groups to help with apples and fall vegetables during the week.  We are particularly grateful for groups that can come in October and early November – earlier in the week is better for distribution.  If you’d like to bring your team out to help, please e-mail chip@americasgrowarow.org.
