Preparing Summer Vegetables For Sale

The farmers in the field behind our house dug potatoes and left them for a couple of days. They then gathered them and loaded them onto their truck. They took them to wash and to sell.

There are other farmers in the neighborhood. One couple has been farming near our house for over 30 years. They sell their vegetables in a vegetable stand in a parking lot on the north side of our house. Both of them work in the fields and take turns sitting in the stand selling their vegetables. They usually sit in the back. There are two chairs in the front. Customers sometimes sit there to chat with them. The stand is open from 8:00 to 6:00 during the summer months. Their lunch break is from 12:00 to 1:00. The stand is closed in the winter.

These shoes have always interested me. They fit snugly and have very flat rubber soles. I'm sure they prevent slipping. I have seen construction workers and gardeners wear them, too.
