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!

Happy August! We're excited for all the great crops that we start harvesting in late summer. Farmer Matt is seeding our fall carrots this week and our crew has been working like crazy to hand harvest the beautiful, tender arugula and the sweet wax beans for you. These two crops are super time-intensive to harvest by hand. I'm sure you will enjoy them and think about the hands that work hard to feed you each week!
A huge THANK YOU is owed to our amazing crew!
