We still have that harvest knife though the blade is a little narrower.

If you’re curious to hear more about how Tourne-Sol has changed over the years you should listen to the latest episode of the Food Garden Life podcast
Emma Biggs and Steven Biggs had me on as a guest to talk about running a farm coop, growing seeds, breeding vegetables, and laughing about spreadsheets. We also talk about the Elec-Truck!
Here’s the episode on my Farmer Podcast Club Spotify playlist.
