From our family to yours, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for supporting local food and farms. With more factory, mono cropping farms and huge corporations taking over food supplies, it’s more important than ever to support small farms. We hope your new year is filled with health, happiness and delicious, nutritious vegetables. Wishing you the very best and more for 2014.
There are tons of studies that support the theory that plant based lifestyles are the best and most sustainable way of losing weight and improving health. There is no better study than trying it out yourself and reaping the benefits of total body improvements. I recommend watching a cool documentary called Forks Over Knifes which goes into much more details.
When you get your box this new year make a conscious effort to eat every vegetable inside. Your body will thank you. Instead of saying, “I want to lose weight this year”, try adjusting that to “I want to focus on the quality of food I put in my mouth,” and the rest will follow.

No more zucchini and I am betting that tomatoes are going to be hard to find in the next few months, so let’s especially enjoy them this week. I am looking forward to a few new winter crops trickling in!
