Week of November 3rd

My dear Community,

We’re happy to have a very special type of heirloom tomato in the box this week. It’s called Ananas Noir and it’s a green variety of tomato. Don’t let the color fool you – this tomato is very sweet and so delicious. Looking forward to sinking my teeth into the sweetness of this tomato as we head into the month of November. We’ve also been struggling with our cucumber crops all year. This is why you haven’t seen many cucumbers in the boxes. This week we’ve succeeded and the cucumbers are flowing in.

We will be making boxes the week of Thanksgiving. If you usually have a Thursday delivery, plan on picking up on Wednesday (more details to come). If you do not need a box this week please log into your account here and update your preference as soon as possible to help us plan.

Be good to each other.
