Saturday marked our very first CSA pickup, and it was such a beautiful start to the season! Deep gratitude to our members and to the local farms, , .farms, and others, who help us keep the boxes full as our own fields continue to come into their full summer rhythm.

CSA pickups happen weekly, and we’re excited to welcome new members as we grow. Your support means everything, and we can’t wait to keep feeding our community.
