CSA Week 18

Post by: Ivo

Season is coming to a close. Autumn is here and frosts are near. Plenty of pumpkins and corn for us to eat. Flowers are slowing down but still holding on. The goats are crowding under their roofs from any rain. Becoming more and more difficult for us to wake up as it becomes darker and colder each morning. We hope you enjoyed your baskets to the fullest! Great time indeed. Be well.
