Week of December 11th

We will be closed December 25th – January 2nd. Your account has been placed on hold for those two weeks so there’s nothing you need to do. I’m looking forward t a little down time to catch up with all the chickens and other projects that need extra tlc.
A reminder to old and new CSA members to break down your box at all locations. It’s pretty easy to do. Simply flip the box over horizontally, and pull the tabs in and out. This keeps all drop spots neat and tidy and makes it really seamless for us to collect and reuse them. Thanks for being a part of what we do and supporting local, organic food. With the seasons changing and food growing much more slowly, we look to our neighboring farms for support to fill the boxes.
