Winter session 3 week 2 Snow Storms
We are unable to include salad mix and spinach in the boxes this week due to the bad weather.We will be able to make it up next week by giving more salad and spinach or more produce. Well we have been blanketed with about 4 inches of snow for the past three days. While it is a beautiful scene it makes picking a little hard. We are still hanging in though and are pleased to give you another wonderful box of produce this week. Again thank you for all your support.
