For farm families, the traditional January 1st has nothing on the feeling when the combines start rolling. It’s the unofficial new year, a sudden, full-time shift into one of the busiest seasons. This week, we're diving into the Harvest Bubble: that intense, high-energy world where long hours are the norm. We'll explore the immediate, jarring changes the season brings, discuss the importance (and logistics!) of feeding the crew with easy-to-transport meals, and share the surprising ways we've learned to connect—or even what we've learned about our partners—when they’re working sunup to sundown.
