Visiting my favorite Broadleaf farm in Enfield, Connecticut.
Chopping tobacco
Laying the broadleaf down and letting it wilt, then we begin picking up the broadleaf
Handling the broadleaf with care. Walking and raising plants so they never drag on the ground.
Tobacco riggens are filled and brought to the sheds.

These leaves are truly the best I have seen in years.
Heavy thick dark green leaves {Slight tint of gold, the signs of ripe tobacco}.
While hanging tobacco men stand on poles and place each stick (lath) one by one .
