We hope everyone has an awesome thanksgiving with lots of food, family and friends! This is always a special share for us because we get to spoil you all for supporting our farm. Our CSA is the reason our farm has existed for 10 years now. We know it is the only way we can run a farm business that allows us to adhere to ecological practices we've committed to!
In fact, the CSA members drive us to do better. For the last couple of years people have been asking for plastic-free shares and we have been doing them for the people asking, but we took a leap of faith this season and went all plastic-free and it feels great! When we try this at the farmers market, our sales are almost cut in half because people are so accustomed to their produce being in plastic, so it is a huge deal that our CSA members embrace this change!
These kind of commitments between farmers and CSA members is what will truly drive the changes we need to enrich communities and the environment because big changes take cooperation. It takes everyone doing their part and encouraging each other to keep going! We're just so very grateful to all of you for supporting our farm! <3
