[CSA Update] Welcome to week 13

"We know vegetables are good for us, and they are so varied and beautiful and delicious. Whether you eat mostly plants or have butter on your toast every morning or bacon in your greens, enjoy your food!"
- Katherine Deumling, Founder of Cook With What You Have

I am a farmer and I can grow great food. I know what it takes to produce food that we put on our table. It doesn't come from a shelf at the store. It comes from years of learning, careful planning, painstaking seeding, nurturing seedlings, transplanting with care, feeding and caring for the plants, watering, protecting, harvesting, cooling, packing, and transporting to mention just a few of the steps our farm team makes for every single bite in your basket.

I want to make sure you don't waste any food.

In 2019 I started including the customization model so that we could have a conversation about what you want to eat, and what I should plant balanced with what we could bring to harvest.

Starting with the first basket in 2010 we included delicious recipes. In 2016 we brought Katherine's perspective as a chef and seasonal eating advocate to our program.
