Going out with a bang! CSA #19

There is one more left! Throughout the season we have tracked and assigned value to everything in your share.  There have been instances when we’ve thrown things in because we’ve had it but didn’t “charge” for it (summer squash and kale).  That’s just part of sharing the harvest.  At this point the shares have averaged [...]

Slippin’ Away -Week 15

I have not quite gotten enough of the summer season this year and already it feels to be slipping away.  I can imagine that it will bring some relief as your share of summer squash dwindles but I’m not quite ready to give up working in Tshirts, harvesting tomatoes off the vine, and relishing in [...]
