Winter 2011
How quickly time flies....we've spent the last couple months planting all of
our winter veggies, doing A LOT of weeding, and harvesting and deliverying
all those delicious Fall veggies.
Also, we've thoroughly enjoyed the new partnership we've forged with Superstition
Farms Dairy this season...we've gotten such a positive response to the addition
of dairy to our CSA that we're excited to announce a variety of new dairy
packages for the Winter - YIPPEE!!
NEW....MORE DAIRY PACKAGES
AVAILABLE FOR THE WINTER SEASON
We've gotten such a positive response from our
partnership with Superstition Farms dairy in Mesa, Arizona
to bring LOCAL, FARM FRESH milk, cream, butter, yogurt,
and cheese to our CSA members.
Beginning with our Winter 2011 season, our CSA members
can now choose from 4 different dairy boxes. We hope this
will meet the needs of even more of our CSA members and
allow everyone to enjoy all that local, fresh dairy has to offer.
