A reminder to anyone picking up their CSA boxes at a school. We do deliver year round, so please make sure to put your box on hold if you need to over the summer.
Tip of the week: If you need to store strawberries, i.e. you (or your kids) didn’t stuff them all into your mouth while you were putting away your veggies -here’s a great tip. Find an airtight container. Layer the strawberries in between a paper towel or tea cloth. Close the lid. They will keep in the fridge for a week + like this.
