This weekend marked the annual harvest at our local rhubarb farm in Black Forest. That's right ... RHUBARB! It's not every day you have the chance to see how rhubarb is grown, so we certainly enjoyed our morning learning all about it at the High Altitude Organic Rhubarb Farm.
"Dad, can I use these like light sabers?"
Who knew that rhubarb had such a leafy plume
at the end of that long red stalk!? We didn't!
In order to pull rhubarb, you have to get down
near the root and ... PUUUULLLLL!
Sometimes all that pulling means you end
up falling on the ground when the root gives way
... like Luke here. At least he's proud of his prize!

On the menu this week ... Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp!
