With a wet season, the harvest was quite difficult for most farms in Alberta.  Having the ability to work for only a few days at a time, their time frame was greatly diminished and as a result, the twelve hour days became eighteen hour days very quickly.  

Rosemary Wotske of Poplar Bluff Organics said "This has been the toughest year in thirty-five years.  We got the rain we would have killed to have in August in September so it was too wet to be on the field and then we got some minus seven and eight temperatures so we have some frozen product. We will be sorting this frozen and mushy product all winter."

Wotske Co-ops her farm with the Cam Beard farm and they share the workload.  They work with a group of restarants and they deliver into Calgary twice a week right to the stores.

Both farms look forward to the next season and prepare for the cycle to begin again.
