> Crop Mob Tasks:  We will be getting in wood for the 2012 maple season.

> could also use a heavy duty cart or 3 if anyone has access.  We have
> been busy thinging out a new section of sugarbush which will be tapped
> for the first time next year.  There are many piles of wood that needs
> to be moved to our chopping and staging area then stacked in the
> shack.  Kids can look for ramp seeds while adults haul wood and are
> welcome to play in the creek if parents are ok with mud.  We will feed
> the crew ramp pesto pasta for lunch.
