Dear Veggie Lovers,
Now that we're getting used to Daylight Savings Time, we're feeling grateful to be setting up the Box Pack in the pink-orange glow that lights up the Olympic Mountains.
Not saying that I'm all for changing the clock and throwing us all off repeatedly twice a year, but just that there's a pink-orange lining in this madness somewhere.
This week we've got a Crew Profile Series on Carlos! He's Peruvian, bilingual and often helps us pack the Farmshare boxes in addition to field work, reefer-truck driving and many other things on the farm.
I personally enjoy his bright smile and sense of humor. Here're his answers to our Questionnaire:
