As mentioned in the last post, we have outgrown our market van. Last Saturday, we had it packed as full as we possibly could, including several crates on Caitlin's lap in the passenger seat. We had a great market and sold nearly a dozen crates of vegetables, so we had those nested rather than stacked, taking up a lot less room.
When it came time to load the van back up at the end of the day, however we were puzzled to find that it wouldn't all fit. We pulled crates out and moved them around, but no luck. Tried again. Eventually we got everything in, with Caitlin still stuck with a pile of things in her lap.
We still don't really understand the physics of this problem, but we've heard that it happens to other farmers, too. Next week we may have to take a second vehicle down to ensure that everything makes it home.
