Dear CSA Member,
We are now into the second week of September. The summer sure did fly by. We have been working hard in the fields, preparing for weekly CSA delivery, weeding, and seeding fall cover crops for the winter. The rain this past summer has sure been challenging for us but, the carrots and potatoes sure didn’t seem to mind it. You will be receiving both of these items in your shares again this week. It looks like the weather will be cooling down by the end of next week. Just in time for soup season. We hope you enjoy this weeks bounty.
