The Bethwood Patch recently wrote an article about the terrible storm that swept through the farm.
Kathleen Schurman writes:
“Monday evening’s storm was scary for some and inconvenient for others, but for area farmers, the gusting winds, pounding rains and punishing hail were yet another setback in a growing season that has been difficult from the onset.
Massaro Community Farm in Woodbridge was hit hard by the tempest that blew through the area. Many crops were damaged, including leafy greens such as lettuce, turnip greens and Swiss chard. Broad-leafed plants like squash were also torn up by hailstones and hundreds of green tomatoes were knocked to the ground with no chance of ripening. Row covers that protect fall crops like broccoli and Brussels sprouts were flattened and torn, trellises snapped in half, and tomato vines ripped apart.”
