Well, maybe we should stop mentioning the rain every week and we will get some sunshine! Another round of storms this week at the farm, but not a lot of damage. We are looking forward to the Fourth of July on Thursday. We've included several cookout/picnic friendly recipes below. We hope everyone has a great week and a great holiday.
This week, according to share size, members will receive: kale, collard greens, broccoli, red cabbage, garlic, onions, and sweet potatoes.
