Week of October 30th

The last of our red onions are going into these CSA boxes. The great thing about onions is that they store quite well. Place them in a dark, cool area and they should last for a few months if needed. Summertime is quickly fading away as the temperatures drop to almost freezing temperatures in parts of SB county during the night. We are heading right into the holiday season. Don’t forget to give the Gift of Health over the holidays. We offer gift certificates in all amounts over a 2 box subscription. Gift at least $100 and receive a $10 credit to your account. Contact me to mail out certificates or email a recipient directly.
We will be putting boxes together the day before Thanksgiving on November 27th. Please put your account on hold as soon as possible if you would not like to receive one so we can plan accordingly. We are taking the weeks of December 25th – Jan 1st off and are NOT preparing boxes those weeks. You do not need to make any adjustments to your account. It’s already been done for you. THANK YOU!
