Sharecast, October 5, 2011 - WEEKLY Add-Ons & BI-MONTHLY Fruit
Wednesday, October 5, 2011 at 2:08PM It's starting to feel like FALL out there! Just a reminder to everyone, your CSA shares will start to taper off in abundance now that it has gotten colder. Also, please remember that the farms (including Red Jacket Orchards and Evans Creamery) did sustain flooding damage from Hurricane Irene and more intensely from Tropical Storm Lee.
Some of the items may not be as pretty as we'd like. Remember, these items are picked fresh and do not go through the wasteful process of delivering ONLY the things that look their best while throwing away the rest. They haven't been trucked across the country, or flown in from another country, or picked before they were ripe and left to mature in a cargo crate somewhere. There is no comparison of items that appear "bruised" at CSA to those in the grocery stores. Things that are soft or overripe means you just need to use them faster. None of the items we are delivered are "old" in any way. Please just keep that in mind as you are selecting your items:-)
THE LAST CSA DELIVERY WILL BE WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 16TH.
