This was the weekend of the annual fall harvest work party. While this year’s harvest was moderate in scale, over 80 people were on hand to participate in this popular tradition and a lot of great work was accomplished. The camp shuttle from and to the ferry was in high demand, with an overload crowd arriving on the late afternoon boat on Friday and 33 people shuttling back to the ferry as the work party wound down on Sunday and Monday.
In addition to picking, juicing and slicing apples, wood was split, the garden was put to bed for winter, the skin of the greenhouse was attached, new insulation was installed under Juniper cabin, the dock was brought in, wiring and lighting were installed under the lounge, and great food was prepared including an especially delicate and delicious Saturday night batch of cinnamon-saturated apple pie with just a hint of citrus. Yum!
