“WHATS IN OUR SHARES THIS WEEK”?
Cucumbers, red skin potatoes, green beans, onions, Poblano peppers, cabbage, and tomatoes. (Hope I didn’t forget anything)
The Fruit Share this week gets Blackberries – they’re tart but pretty! Make a cobbler!
- Friends, we suggest you keep a cooler with an ice block in it, in the trunk of your car for the rest of CSA season. You may have to make a stop on the way home or have traffic delays getting home. The heat in the trunk of your car, will cause harvested veggies and fruit to deteriorate quickly.
- If you need to reach our volunteer Coordinator for your pickup location on your delivery day – their contact information is located on the Pickup location page for quick reference.

Fruit Reports:
This is the last week for Strawberries – they have had a great run this season! No news as of now as to what kind of fruit we will have available for fruit shares next week. We will wait to hear from our fruit farmers later this week or over the weekend.
Our Blueberry farmer has reported that his crop took a hard hit from the freezing temps we had in our area. He was hopeful they would do ok, but his berries are scarce. Not looking good right at the moment but, we will see if enough rebound this season. STATUS: Unchanged at this time.
Some Peach varieties had issues with the weather also, though we will still have Peaches this season. The crop may not be bountiful, but we will have them.TOMATO SHARES BEGIN THIS WEEK-(Week of the 27th) Yipee!
