NEW YEAR.
Wow is it really January already? It seems like just yesterday we were loading up veggie boxes and pie pumpkins to do our last delivery of the season. Even though it doesn’t seem that long ago, we feel like we…
AS THE SEASON WINDS DOWN.
And before you know it, it’s the last day of September! We can’t believe we are in our final weeks of this CSA season. Our last deliveries will be Monday, October 19th and Thursday, October 22nd. This year has been…
RECIPE OF THE WEEK: MINESTRONE SOUP
OK, I know it’s still August, but don’t you think there’s a hint of fall in the air? We thought so, so we made a killer Minestrone Soup last night. With a bit of parmesan and some amazing toasty bread,…

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
HIP HIP HOORAY. We are officially 1 month out from starting seedlings (like the picture above from last year)! Holy buckets did this winter go fast (but also slow…so slow)! We’re thrilled at the response we’ve received from new and returning…
