My dear Community,
If you ordered bread last week you also received a sample of a new seeded sourdough bread which we will be offering soon. We’d love to hear what you thought about it.
We’re in peak season for strawberries, and although we have them available for quite a stretch through the year, this is their time to shine. We’re also finally offering some tomatoes in the box this week. The crops we expected to have early like tomatoes, zucchini and cucumbers have been stunted due to this foggy weather. The tomatoes will remain intermittent in the boxes until the sun really starts to shine.
We’re getting a new batch of chicks and ducks this week. We’re hoping to be able to extend egg season throughout the year. If you haven’t had a chance to try our eggs, both are now available in our CSA store.
Did you know that you can receive a $25 referral credit when you send someone our way? They just need to sign up for at least 3 boxes and we’ll apply the credit to your account. We prefer to rely on word of mouth to spread the good word. Thanks for being a part of what we do.
Be good to each other.
