Oh yeah they supply the truss tomatoes for all the grocery stores up here. My brain can't even comprehend what a multi-acre greenhouse looks like. Back rooms ass farm

So naturally my suspicion here is that the farm is calling the raids in. They're getting whole busfuls of workers at a time as they're transported from the old motel they put them up in (yeesh)

So there's a big hydroponic tomato farm in central Maine that's had two ICE raids (they used a goddamn helicopter) and the workers are contracted out through a third party. The farm has had legal issues stemming from underpaying non-immigrant workers less than the H-1b guys in the past.

The entire state of Maine fucking loved having the roads and state parks to ourselves all summer. We speak fondly of 2020.

The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.

I LOVE those

I almost bought it because mmm sarsaparilla but it's not made with real sarsaparilla

She tried to stick her face in my ear the other night when I was trying to sleep. She also nibbled my finger but settled on holding onto my fingertip with her lil grabber. She may wear me as a skin suit someday soon

I did my first production session for my micro business and my cat stayed out of the kitchen (baby gates up) but cried a LOT because she could see me but not occupy my skin like she wants to all the time.

Nah it'll only spread if it goes to seed

I've never heard of it being used that way, but they're big leaves so you could always just use them as mulch

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Hey! Sorry I missed this. I bolted and went to seed

I dunno, I feel like at least people who cook professionally need to spend a little time growing something. Nearly a decade in restaurants and I didn't know shit when I started working on the farm. The ignorance and sheer bullshitting proliferates from chefs to servers to customers.

There's really something to everyone only knowing produce by its culinary designation and not how it grows. Just easily demonstrates the disconnect most of us have to growing food.

The running gag at the farmers market to is to count each year how many people ask which pepper seedlings will produce green peppers

Cucumbers are UNRIPE fruit. They turn yellow and bitter and their seeds enlarge when ripe. Same is true of zucchini.
