MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 4/52 of 2021
Dear Farm Members,
With an icy winter storm on its way, this week we’re feeling grateful as ever for our incredibly tenacious delivery drivers, Mike Berlin (local delivery) and Jason Berger (Tahoe/Truckee/Reno delivery). Getting boxes delivered safely and on-time is a complicated endeavor to begin with - add wild winter weather patterns into the mix and things get even trickier. We’re lucky that these two reliable humans are both willing and able to get our veggies where they need to go, week after week, rain or shine. If you see them out and about, make sure to give them a wave and remind them of how great they are!
We are delivering "as usual" this week with lots of plans surrounding the upcoming storm. We will keep you updated about any delays via email and list late pickup hours for your site in the delivery reminder.
Your boxes this week are full of some true winter gems. Romanesco, mizuna, rutabagas, shallots, and beyond, bound to nourish you and add some color to cold and snowy days. Enjoy!
