MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Winter 2019-20, Week 23 of 25
Dear Farm Members,
Looking at our fields right now feels a little bit like bending time. For the past two months, we’ve seeded, planted, weeded, watered, and dreamed fervently of this moment - when lettuce would fatten and peas would stretch. And here we are, on top of it all, with a mountainous season still laid out before us. This is the oh-so exciting moment when we finally begin to harvest food from our fields for all of you, and as a result, you’ll find more and more Mountain Bounty produce in your boxes with every passing week. We sincerely hope that you can taste all the love and care that goes into it! How lucky we are that, despite the state of the world, our planet just keeps on turning. Here’s hoping that this week finds you well, with very full hearts and bellies!
