Week of December 2nd

My dear community,

The holidays are here and so is our annual break. A quick reminder that we will not be making CSA boxes the last 2 week of the year- December 23 through 30th. You do not have to put your box on hold – it’s been done for you. If you have a bi-monthly “Schedule B” subscription and you wish to have a box on January 6th, send me a quick email after December 16th to make the change. Alternatively you can log into your account here at www.farmigo.com/account/somethinggoodorganics, click on the “change” button next to your subscription and follow the prompts to switch to “Schedule A”. This must be done after your box is delivered the week of December 16th.

New product announcement! In continuing to highlight locally made outstanding goods- we’ve added Ojai Jelly to our store. We hope you enjoy its spicy and sweet goodness as much as we do. Check out her story and more here on the Ojai Jelly website.

We are here for your holiday shopping. We can put together a multitude of local goodies and deliver it as a gift. Please feel free to get in touch with me if you don’t see a gift certificate combination that fits your style in our CSA store. We’re happy to help.

Be good to each other.
