Weekly CSA Box Prediction | 2nd Week of November
Happy Friday, CSA Family!
We’re settling into the fall season, and this week’s boxes are looking especially delicious! We’ve got a wonderful mix of sweet seasonal fruit, hearty vegetables, and beautiful greens coming your way.
One of my favorite parts of running Something Good Organics is getting to work alongside other local farmers. This week, our celery and cauliflower will be coming from Tutti Frutti Farms, a local, family-run organic farm and neighbor of ours!
Supporting neighboring farms allows us to bring you a greater variety of fresh, organic produce while keeping our food system close to home. It’s a win for our farmers, our community, and your dinner table!

We’re also excited to include Fuyu persimmons in our Large Boxes and Fruit Expansions. Unlike some other persimmons, Fuyus can be enjoyed while still firm, just like an apple. They’re wonderfully sweet and one of our favorite fall treats!
