MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 35/52 of 2021
Dear Farm Members,
These days, when the air momentarily clears and the sky returns to blue at long last, we are reminded once more of what a gift it is to be able to spend our days outside. Farming isn’t easy, but moments like this are rewarding beyond measure. The fields of our Birchville farm site are overflowing with bed after bed of fall crops- beautiful to behold and worth driving by if you’re in the area! We’re excited for the opportunity to share all this goodness with you, and hope you’re enjoying each breath of fresh air as much as we are. Enjoy your boxes this week!
