Week of June 15th

We are excited to have fresh picked, ripe apricots for your CSA shares this week. They are being picked today, right here in Goleta at Vincent Farms. Happy Summer!
If you receive a share at Cold Springs Elementary or Westmont College, please note your share will be delivered on Wednesdays throughout the summer.
Don’t forget to add a loaf of fresh baked bread to your share. Deux Bakery is busy making it happen the morning of your delivery. They are known around Santa Barbara for their bread that tastes better than it looks, and it looks REALLY GOOD!! They also have delicious gluten free products and more.
