Week of April 1st

My dear community members,

Our CSA program isn’t just an amazing farm box loaded with freshly picked, local organic fruits and veggies; it’s a movement. It’s tuning into the earth and the seasons. It’s connecting with the community over recipes and stories (even if it’s only through zoom, social media and online for the foreseeable future). It’s giving back to schools and supporting the workers that live in our neighborhoods. Thanks for being a part of what we are doing. We would LOVE to see what you are cooking. Please tag us on Instagram @somethinggoodorganics #somethinggoodorganics and we’ll add it to our story to share and inspire.

A few reminders. Please break down your box. Whether you are picking up or receiving delivery, it just helps us so much time wise. Please be careful not to rip the box when you are collapsing it. We cannot use the boxes if they are ripped. Also our online CSA store closes on Saturday at midnight. This helps us have enough time to plan and order everything. Thanks for your continued patience and understanding.(was misspelled)

We welcome strawberries and spring onions into our boxes this week as a clear signal that spring’s bounty is on its way! We also welcome Wishbone Bone broth into our CSA store. I’ve been using this bone broth for over half a year for cooking and sipping and I’m so happy to offer it to you. Locally made with certified organic ingredients, you can include a jar of frozen broth into your box beginning next week.
