Tuesday, July 11 Flooding Update

The amazing ICF staff after a long day of rain, mud, and vegetables.

ICF had an amazing day yesterday with more than 30 volunteers showing up alongside our hardworking staff to harvest thousands of pounds of carrots, beets, onions, greens, and squash in advance of rising floodwaters. It was a heroic effort of many hands, which was mirrored at neighboring farms throughout the Intervale. We are humbled and grateful for all of the community support and love. Thank you.

You can see some of yesterday's action in the Intervale from local media here:

At this time we do not need additional help, though we will let you know if and when we do. Please do not come for a visit right now, as water is streaming across Intervale Road and into our parking lot. All pick-your-own is closed.

As of 9:00am this morning, floodwaters are beginning to enter our fields, with forecasts suggesting an Intervale crest after sunset tonight. We will not know the full extent of things until Wednesday or possibly Thursday. We hope we will be able to continue with a semi-normal Thursday pickup and will let you know if we need to cancel or postpone.
