Concord Camera: Summer’s bounty

This year’s unusually warm temperatures may have at least one upside: Produce at farms across Concord is ripening early this year. 

Liza Bemis of Hutchins Farm, who’s also co-chair of the town’s Agriculture Committee, mobilized farm managers and workers to (briefly) put down their rakes, hoes, and baskets and pick up their cameras to capture the advent of the summer harvest season for The Concord Bridge.
