First Fresh Stop: June 20th!

Fresh Stop starts tomorrow, 6/20! Pick-up times will be from 10am - 12pm in the garden of Fourth Avenue United Methodist Church, on the corner of 4th and St.Catherine. Whatever is not picked up by 12, will be donated, so please send someone to pick up your share if you cannot make it! It should be a fun time...there will be a cooking demo/sampling and some live music.

We will be sending out an e-mail every Friday that lets you know what will be in the shares the next day and what is expected to be in the shares the next week. Please remember, that fresh, local produce is completely dependent upon the weather, so things could change even up to the morning of a pick-up. The list of next week's produce is purely an fyi for people who have already paid for the full season and it is to give our weekly share buyers an idea of whether they want to place an order for the next week or not. Remember, weekly orders (and money!) are due by the Sunday before a Saturday pick-up. It is $10 for a weekly half share, $20 for a weekly full share (we also have discounted prices for low-income families). Orders may be given to Deborah, Lindsey, Lauren, or Al.

Here's what you can expect tomorrow, 6/20, in your share:
  • Siberian Kale
  • Red Russian Kale
  • lettuce
  • cucumbers
  • broccoli
  • tomatoes
  • squash
  • spring green onions
  • candy onions
Possibilities for next week's share, 6/27:

  • kale
  • squash
  • cucumbers
  • onions
  • lettuce
  • radishes
  • swiss chard
  • tomatoes
