Week of December 14th

There will be no CSA shares made for the next two weeks, Dec 21st-29th. We will resume the first week of the new year. Happiest holidays to you, your family and all your loved ones. We feel so blessed to have you guys in our community supported agriculture program and connected with all the fresh food we have to offer.
