Dear valued members of our CSA community,
Can you believe it? We've reached the final week of our summer CSA season! We want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your unwavering support throughout the summer. Time has surely flown by, and it's been an absolute pleasure sharing our farm's bounty with all of you.
As we prepare to close out the summer season, we kindly request your assistance in reusing the CSA boxes. Please drop them off at your designated drop-off location or place them outside your door for collection. This eco-friendly practice helps us reduce waste and lower our environmental impact.
Now, don't be disheartened that the summer season is coming to a close. We're taking a short break to attend the local fair, but we're excited to announce that our fall CSA will soon be up and running! Wondering what to expect in our fall CSA boxes? Get ready for an array of fresh, seasonal delights, including:
- Various greens
- Cabbage
- Cauliflower
- Broccoli
- Brussels sprouts
- Potatoes
- Winter squash
- A variety of root crops
And the good news doesn't stop there! We'll continue providing you with tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers until it becomes too cold to sustain them in our tunnels.
