June 27 & 29 CSA Boxes

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I hope that you are all staying cool in this little heat wave we are having. We have been out in the fields planting and picking like crazy. Most of our crops really love this hot and humid weather with the daily shower mixed in. Broccoli and cauliflower are the only ones that do not enjoy these muggy conditions. You will be finding these in your share boxes for the next few weeks and then not again until the temps drop in the fall.

Thank you for all shopping with us this week using your CSA Membership Cards. Remember that you are able to save 10% off you entire purchase everytime you present this card at any of our retail locations. This also includes pick-your-own so if you are looking to do something with your family this weekend come out to our Greenhouse location (8 Route 24 Chester, NJ) and pick some yummy strawberries!

 

 

Any shares that are left at the end of the pick up days are donated to the Chester Food Pantry and go directly to a family in need. If there are any items in your share boxes you wish to donate to the food pantry we will be accepting those as well. Just see a manager when you you pick up your share and we will be sure to include them in the Food Pantry's box.
