Week of May 18th

My dear community,

We are in full swing here as all things spring have emerged. With so many delicious and nutritious foods coming from the farm I’m looking for how to further connect our community. Local food security not only provides nourishment but means keeps money right here in our community. Supporting organic growers means investing in the future of our land.

Not to mention that we are literally what we eat – so why not encourage everyone to eat nutritious food. We offer a $25 credit to any member who refers a friend who stays subscribed for a minimum of 3 weeks. Now is an especially bountiful time to join our CSA program as many new products come in. With over 170 acres of organically farmed land, we make sure you get to eat the rainbow and reap the diverse health benefits.

Be good to each other.
