My dear community,
I just added corn to the store. Feel free to go back in and add it to your order here. As always, please send me an email if there’s something you’d like to add but don’t see available in the store. With so many crops rotating and changing so quickly it’s challenging to keep inventory updated. But know we have something available if you see it listed in that week’s box.
Zucchini and tomatoes are picked almost daily to keep from getting over ripe. We’re nearly done with peaches, their season goes by so fast. If you’d like to have some extras make sure to order them this week. We’re including some super tasty and sweet carmen peppers this week. If you’ve never had them, or passed them by at the market, you’re in for a real treat. They are known to be fantastic for roasting, but can also be eaten raw like a bell pepper. If you’ve been wondering where all the cucumbers are, we had a few failed crops. We’re hopeful the next crop will be ready in a few weeks.
Thanks for being a part of our CSA program. I have a huge amount of gratitude for everyone who participates. Our farm boxes give us an opportunity to sell produce that might not be perfect looking enough to be sold at a grocery store. But as you know, it allows us to really pick what’s most flavorful and abundant on the farm for you. It creates food security and keeps your dollars in our community which is essentially a vote for the importance of organic food and practices.
Be good to each other.
