CSA Week #11

We have watermelons in the VEGETABLE shares for everyone this week! They are Certified Organic, grown on our farm and most importantly, they are an old-fashioned variety that have SEEDS!

FRUIT SHARES from Briermere Farm are here!
The fruit is NOT INCLUDED in the vegetable share. You must pay for it separately. If you paid for the fruit it will say "FRUIT" next to your name on the check-in sheet. If it does not say "FRUIT" next to your name, DO NOT TAKE A BAG OF FRUIT. The fruit share will consist of one bag of fruit per PAID FRUIT SHARE MEMBER each week. Look for the fruit bags in open plastic crates at the site starting this week. Questions? Let us know!
