We are in cherry abundance this week, so we are putting two units of cherries in everyone's shares! No need to rush and jump on your accounts to guarantee your cherries! Ahh, a relaxed Sunday evening is good for the soul...
Did you know that cherries are more than just a delicious "party in your mouth" fruit? They are healers of the body and mind. Packed with phytochemical compounds and trace minerals, cherries can remove radiation and repair myelin nerve damage while also supplying a healthy dose of zinc and iron. Who knew? Click here to learn more about what cherries can do for you aside from providing you with a tasty and thirst-quenching treat.
Our red cherries, the Summit variety, and yellow cherries, the Emperor Francis variety, come from Silver Creek & Seaman's Orchard in Nelson County. We will be doing a farmer's choice on which variety goes into your share, as the yellow cherries can be a "problem child". They have a thin, tender skin, so they are much more apt to bruising. We want to offer to you all whatever is the most fresh at the time of your pickup.
If you feel strongly against either variety, you can let your farm stand lead know, and they will swap out with whatever they have on had.
In addition to cherries, we will be including one unit of strawberries and one unit of blueberries in your shares this week. I hope no one is sick of blueberries and strawberries yet!
On a side note, if you know that you are going to miss your pickup or you have already missed your pickup, please call (302-668-9352) or email (csa@agriberry.com) me to get your share rescheduled as soon as possible. There are certain circumstances where we can have your share available at another farm stand later in the week, and by getting in touch with me, I can make this happen quickly and easily.
Father's Day is around the corner as well, so don't forget to get a little sweet something to celebrate the dads in your life. If you find yourself needing additional fruits after the 4:00 pm cut-off on Monday night, feel free to hop over to our online store to pre-order for all of our weekday and weekend locations. Don't forget to enter "FARMSHARE' at checkout to receive your 20% member discount.
Stay well everyone! I look forward to seeing some of you this week!
