Summer Share: Week 12
Last night, we woke up to lightning and the sound of rain. Woohoo! We received a little less than 1/2 of an inch, and we are so thankful.

Summer Share: Week 10
Peak summer produce! Watermelon, tomatoes, sweet corn. Watermelon harvest usually happens in a trickle. This year, all of our watermelons were ready at once! Thankfully, they hold well at 50-59 degrees, and we plan to have them in the shares for the next couple of weeks. This week, the watermelons1 read more »
