Greens aplenty!

With longer (and sometimes warmer) days come more greens! At the last pickup we had spinach, arugula, Asian greens and chard. They were a beautiful sight!
If we're lucky there will be more additions before ordering closes!
Look for:
  • Hothouse Tomatoes from Floralane
  • Monforte has some white ripened cheeses available. Look for Torta (Triple cream camembert from pasteurized organic cow's milk) and Black Sheep (Ash ripened camembert rounds with a white rind.)
  • We have confirmed that Well Stocked will have their bone broths available at the next pickup. There are lots of options available including beef, chicken and vegetable broths that have been pressure canned, fresh jarred and frozen.
Brenda Knechtel still has seedling kits available! You will find them in the 'plants' section under 'other'. This year there are two options:
  • Mini Spring Salad Seed Starter Kit
