MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 25/53 of 2020
Dear Farm Members,
We’ve been truly grateful for the cool weekend days and bits and pieces of rain we’ve received over the past few weeks. Anything that keeps the heat of summer at bay for just a bit longer means much happier late-spring vegetables. Your boxes this week are certainly a reflection of this moment where spring and summer stand shoulder to shoulder - broccoli, lettuce, chard, beets, and more continue to shine while summer treats, like new potatoes, are just beginning to make an appearance. We hope you’ve all been taking in the end of spring as happily as we have, welcoming all the goodness that these days have to offer.

RECIPES
Recipes may sometimes call for more or less of a certain item in your boxes, or an ingredient you might not have on hand. We encourage you to enjoy the creativity associated with eating locally and seasonally.
HOW TO PICK UP YOUR CSA SHARES:
1. Check the delivery list each week and initial for your order on the delivery list. As always, please only take what has been delivered for you.
2. We ask that you only touch the box/bag/bouquet that are a part of your order.
3. We are asking that you pick up your box from the site and take it home with you to prevent the amount of time you are spending at your CSA site. If you’d like to pack it into a reusable bag, please feel free to do that at your car. Please bring your empty box back each week for reuse.
4. If you are sick, please send a friend to pick up for you and let them know about the pick up procedure.
5. All produce has been packed by farm employees who are in good health and following our food safety policies.
If there's a problem, please take what we’ve delivered for you and contact us by email or phone.
If you share your subscription, please make sure you check in every week about who will pick up so one of you does not accidentally take someone else's order.
