CSA Week 6



This is Jesus and he has big handfuls of beautiful green beans and yellow wax beans
for our beautiful CSA shareholders and Farm Stand customers!

He won't be able to hold them all. In fact most of them will be combined together in bags for you to blanch, quick grill and add to your pasta or salad. Our kids like them as finger food raw or cooked.

 

 

 

 

This is a FULL SHARES week...Full Vegetable and Fruit Shares!

That means only those with Fruit and FULL Vegetable shares will pick up.

Pick up is Thursday, July 18th. 4-7 pm at your respective site.

Next week is an ALL SHARES week again so HALF SHARE folks, no pick up this week.

But please stop by the farm, pick up a few things in our retail area and say hi!
