Week of February 17th

As the days get longer and the weather maintains a warmer temperature, our chickens are picking up production. We almost have all egg subscriptions filled, so make sure to get on our waiting list if you’d like a dozen or two of free range, organic eggs added to your share.
We had to discontinue our delicious granola provided by Cindy Dollar. As her business ramps up it’s only necessary to simplify where possible. You can still buy her products online at www.cindyshealthycreations.com. We’ve since added delicious cookies from Deux Bakery into our CSA store. Mix and match with multiple flavors including Salted Chocolate chip, Snickerdoodles, Peanut Butter, Oatmeal Raisin, and Sugar.
