My dear community,
I’ve added a few new things to our CSA store. Ground beef from Rancho San Julian, sweet corn, navel oranges, peaches and small chicken eggs while they last. We’re currently working on a big strawberry jam project so we’ve reduced the price of the Ojai Jellies to make room for our incoming jam. We still have lots of avocados, local olive oil, bone broth and more in our store. Place your order before midnight tonight to have it included in with your share this week. If there’s anything else you’d like to see in the store please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Be good to each other.
