We are down to our last two weeks of the CSA season and I can hardly believe it! The season has flown by and it is time to start thinking about next year. If you plan on joining the CSA again for the 2025 season, you can now reserve your share here. Hard copies of our Early Bird Contract will also be available at CSA distribution through the end of the season. Early registration for existing shareholders will be available until November 13th. Any spots not reserved by that date will be opened up to those on our waitlist. Please be sure to reserve your spot before the deadline to ensure you won’t end up back at the bottom of the waitlist.

We have a wonderful autumn basket this week, including pomegranates from Plum Nutty Orchard. If you are a pomegranate lover, these fruits are pretty easy to find if you keep your eyes peeled. Pomegranate trees are often used in landscaping, but many people just let the fruits wither and fall, so don’t be afraid to ask a neighbor if you can pick some. Aside from Willowbrook Farm’s delicious salad mix, everything else in this basket is begging me to make rich, delicious soups. Now if only the weather would comply and cool down enough for that!

Have a lovely week!
