Harvest Highlights: Week 16 CSA News & Updates
As we embrace Week 16, we can’t help but reflect on the wonderful journey we’ve had with you all. Your support and enthusiasm have made this season a true joy. We appreciate each and every one of our members for being a part of our community and supporting local agriculture.
This week’s share is a testament to the bounties of fall, featuring a variety of winter squashes, including butternut, spaghetti, acorn, and delicata, as well as a sweet treat from Ames Farms – their delectable honey.
The last two Harvest Events of the 2023 CSA season are this weekend, and we are looking forward to a great turnout. It is so much fun for us to meet the members and families that share in our harvest! The Pumpkin Pick will be here at Pahl’s Market where kids can enjoy the corn pit and choose that perfect pumpkin. Each paid CSA share will receive one free carving pumpkin. The Apple Pick is at Brand Farms in Farmington and each paid CSA share will receive one free 1/4 peck bag for picking. The details for this weekend’s events are below, and we will send out a reminder email later this week.
Hope to see you all this weekend!
