Some Delivery Days Have Changed!
Check Your Day
   
Dear CSA Members:

The 2015 CSA season starts tomorrow, June 2. Our routes continue to develop as new members join our program, so some delivery days have changed in the past few days. Please double-check this list to determine which day of the week we'll be serving your zip code or your group site this year. Note that we will serve some group sites on days that don't correspond to their zip code, so if you belong to a group site, look for that site's delivery day.

   After many months of careful preparation, Dirt Farm Brewing will celebrate its grand opening on July 10. In advance of that exciting event, Bruce and Janell have invited CSA members to come up the hill and kick the tires on this new venture, which will soon be one of Loudoun County's most popular farm breweries.
