MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 28/52 of 2021
Dear Farm Members,
Another scorcher of a week goes by, and we’ve got a whole host of exciting high summer crops to show for it! You’ll find tomatoes in your boxes at long last, along with shishito peppers, more new potatoes, and even a little bit of corn. These are the gems we wait for all year long, easy to love and destined to be savored for as long as they’re here! Thanks, as always, to our incredible crew of farmers, who do the hard work necessary to keep things running and bring this incredible produce to all of you, even in the most extreme conditions. We are so lucky, and incredibly grateful for their efforts! Enjoy all the goodness this week has to offer, and stay cool out there.
