If you didn’t have a chance to pick up your share last week at the farm you can be sure it was donated to Veggie Rescue and given to those who need it most. I’ve raided our hard squash stores and given as much as possible to the Food Shelter. Helping our community in times like these is extremely important to me.
I’m very happy to be stuffing these CSA boxes with tomatoes in January. A little ray of sunshine in the share. While we don’t have access to any of our usual produce south of Santa Barbara, we are snacking on the local tangerines like crazy.
We are planning on delivering to all of our drop off spots this week. Enjoy! With the 101 closed, our local produce is more important than ever. And supporting our local farms will ensure that we can continue making it available for our community.
