CSA - Bonus Week!
We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Matt and I are full of gratitude for our wonderful and supportive CSA community (that's you!) and our amazing farm team who helped us get through this challenging farming season. We managed to keep everyone healthy and grow food to safely feed our community for the full 25 weeks of the program. And now, here we are harvesting an additional full week of vegetables for each and every one of you. A BONUS week of veggies to make up for some of the lighter weeks back in the summer. A promise is a promise!
I'll be sending out an end-of-season farm letter in the next few weeks. Warmest wishes from all of us for a happy and healthy holiday season!
