Another reminder! We hope you can come out to the farm for the Eat Local Farm Tour on July 14th.
Next week is the first of the meat share deliveries for our Eat Like a Farmer and Meat Share members! Make room in your freezerIf you need to reschedule the delivery, let us know and we can accommodate.
This weeks blog is a short one since the kids' daycare is closed this week. They are doing great out in the fields (and playing in the rain and jumping on the trampoline and making potions and encouraging screaming contests with the crew) and we are thinking that maybe next season they will be able to be home for more days next summer and help with growing the veggies. Hope you enjoy the pictures of them helping out on the farm!
