MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 28/53 of 2020
Dear Farm Members,
Last week marked the celebrated return of hundreds of shimmering dragonflies to the skies above our fields. It happens every year around this time - only a few at first, and then many more, floating quietly overhead. The nature of their flight is so unobtrusive, it’s easy to miss them until you take a minute to look up. For many of us, they act as a mark of the season, an ephemeral sign that time marches on and that we’re right where we’re supposed to be. And so we move through our days accompanied by these breezy creatures, until the moment comes when they vanish as mysteriously as they first appeared.
Enjoy your boxes this week, and all the magic that this season has to offer!
