Week of March 24th

My dear community,

Just a quick note to say thanks. We so appreciate you being a part of our CSA program and spreading the word. For every member that signs up with a referal (and stays on for at least 6 weeks), we will pass the love back your way via a $25 credit on your account. As we all get back to the new normal we really appreciate you continuing to support local food. Regardless if our day feels normal and calm, or seriously nuts, it’s reassuring to know that a box of freshly picked produce is coming just for you. A lot of this world is experiencing food deserts and might not know where their next meal is coming from. Food banks can’t necessarily stock up with fresh produce. I give thanks for all that we have.

Be good to eachother.
