This week's offerings:  More beets and another try at cauliflower.  And garlic!  And probably the last of the celery till the fall.

Coming soon: Cherry tomatoes on the way! 

Organic blueberries available this week if desired!  We are picking up organic blueberries from John Nelson's Blueberry Ranch in Mishawaka, Indiana, and can deliver them with your tote to your pick up site this week.  Here's the link to order:  https://app.barn2door.com/e/32GNQ.  Order by tonight!  And look for them on Wednesday!  Will be warm again this week, so come promptly to your pick-up site if possible!

Good read: David Montgomery (with the help of his wife) has written several books that have as one of their themes the overall connection between healthy soil, healthy plants, and healthy people.  His latest book is called What Your Food Ate, and is well worth perusing!  Here is a transcript of an interview with David, done by Dave Chapman, head of the Real Organic Project, which is also doing fantastic outreach regarding organic and sustainable agriculture:  https://www.realorganicproject.org/david-montgomery-book-club-interview/?mc_cid=56527f9649&mc_eid=12e5d1bba3.  Here is also an interview with David Montgomery where he touches on a variety of topics relevant to sustainable agriculture:  https://www.realorganicproject.org/david-montgomery-clever-modern-technology-vs-ancient-soil-wisdom-episode-twenty-seven/?mc_cid=56527f9649&mc_eid=12e5d1bba3

 Have a good week!
