Produce & Poultry CSA's Reminder
This week is the middle of the season for poultry and produce. We generally take this week "off", but our POULTRY CSA's will be delivered as usual. This means that your last CSA date will be 10/25 instead. For folks who get PRODUCE, we are taking this week off, and will see you next, through 10/31! For all CSA'ers, this week and next are when the second half of your CSA payment is DUE.
