Helllooo out there!

Yes, there are 2 weeks left of the Summer CSA, so the last Tuesday distribution is the 13th, and the last Friday is the 16th. The winter CSA starts THE NEXT WEEK, WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 21ST. That's the day before Thanksgiving. 

The winter CSA is super super super flexible this year. Members take 2 SLF bags of WHATEVER they want from WHERE EVER they want in the barn. So, you could eat just kale, spinach, carrots and onions all winter if you wanted. Or just potatoes, beets and cabbage. You get the picture. It's like going to the store except everything is local, organic, and grown on fantastic soil, looks great, and does Wegman's have a wood stove surrounded by babies in car seats listening to Stephan Grappelli in the produce section?
