FRUIT SHARE begins this week!
The contents of the fruit share change on a daily basis. Remember that the fruit share is grown by Briermere Farms and works differently than our vegetable shares. The value of the fruit sent out each week is deducted from the $138 you paid up front at the beginning of the season. The fruit share will continue until a total of $138 is deducted from your account. This gives the fruit farm flexibility to send out the quantity and variety that is ready to harvest on any given day. If you have any questions about the fruit, please contact Briermere Farm directly at briermere@aol.com

Update from the Fields...
We don't need to tell you that it's been HOT HOT HOT! One of our irrigation pumps broke last Thursday and we spent the good part of two days trying to find replacement parts and a rental unit before the long holiday weekend. Good news- we managed to repair it enough to water our parched plants before they died. Another crisis averted! Hope you all had a more relaxing 4th!
