CSA Week #22

For those who are counting, this is week #22 out of 25 weeks. Our CSA program ends the week before Thanksgiving this year.

And since so many of you are asking....

No, there will be no official Winter Share, but we expect to have a few winter pick-ups at the farm with pre-ordered boxes of root vegetables. We will send out an e-mail with details about this in December.

YES, we will have Christmas Trees from our farmland in Vermont for sale! Stay tuned for more details coming this week. There is a shortage of trees in the country, so we know that many of you are eager to get on the list!

2022 CSA plans will be coming in January or February, so please be patient. Since you are a member this year, you will receive an e-mail from us in early 2022 detailing our offerings once we decide what they are!

Thank you!
Maggie & Matt

Anyone else loving their fall radishes with butter and flakes of salt?
