Farm notes:
This week will be the final week of our 2012 CSA season. As always we really enjoy doing the CSA and we are really grateful for the support of all of our members. Perhaps in the years to come we will extend the CSA season further into the fall / winter. This is probably our favorite part of the year to farm in because the weather is generally a bit more mild and the cool weather grows some of our favorite crops really well! So for those of you who like the turnips, radishes, greens, broccoli, etc. you can still find us at 2nd Street Market on Saturdays from 8-3.
