Winter Season Week 5 – January 11 & 12

January 11, 2012

Hi there Mountain Bounty Friends!

Yes – there is fruit in your veggie box! Just a reminder that veggie share members once again get fruit this week – PLEASE ONLY TAKE the veggie box – AND NOT a fruit bag. Your fruit is inside the veggie box. THANKS!

Do you want Free Veggies? Just a reminder that we start up our 2 new Reno sites next week and we’re looking to fill those sites with new members. Tell all your Reno friends – for each new member you bring in, we’ll give you a free week of veggies in the summer. For details, go to our homepage or contact Kathy at 530-292-3776, info@mountainbountyfarm.com.

Another wonderful week of winter veggies and fruits! We’ve got an interesting selection this week (and unfortunately you’re not out playing in the snow) – so get creative with those dinners. Look for some great recipes below, too.
