FALL CSA Week 3: Final

Hello Christi,


Our recipe focus for Fall Week 3 is on holiday sides and some ideas for combining leftover turkey with produce from your box--if you get tired of turkey sandwiches.


This brings us to the end of the 2023 CSA season. A few notes:

  • The Online Farm Store will open every-other-week throughout the off -season, with selected pick-up locations and/or home delivery. Details will be given in the next FarmMatch notice.
  • 2024 CSA: watch for details after the winter holidays, around the turn of the new year.


Many thanks to all of you for supporting the farm this year!
