As our CSA program expands please honor other’s time and space when picking up your box at a community space. As we maneuver these crazy times we encourage mutual respect.

Thanks to all who have shared recipes on IG stories, email and other outlets. Seeing the vegetables in action is not only awesome, but it also helps inspire me and many others. Staying in touch with seasonal, local food helps ensure that we are eating the right food to keep us healthy.

Support local businesses when you can. Show some love to our friends at The Women’s Heritage if you like what you see.

Be good to each other.
