Week of November 28th

PLEASE NOTE WE WILL BE CLOSED DECEMBER 18th-26th!! You do not need to hold your box – it’s already been done.
I know there’s been a big recall on Romaine lettuce, and even though they aren’t sure the source, they are blaming California for the problem. I can assure you our romaine lettuce is safe for your table. ENJOY 🙂 We are so happy to bring you small farm, organic produce for you and your family. Thanks for supporting what we do.
We originally were going to put baby spinach in all the boxes. The farm was short on labor and couldn’t weed it all in time. We expect to have it in all our boxes next week!
