MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 36/52 of 2021
Dear Farm Members,
What a scary week it’s been, with the Caldor fire raging, moving far too close for comfort to our friends in South Lake Tahoe. Our hearts go out to all of the folks who have been affected, and to the many firefighters and first responders working tirelessly to keep our communities safe. This summer has held so much uncertainty, not only for our immediate security in a region where wildfire and smoke rule the dry season, but for the future of our world as a whole. Still, out in our fields the crops just keep growing, demanding water and light and the attention of dozens of farmer hands. We hope your boxes this we ek - full of a mix of late summer crops and the very first round of fall greens- offer some shelter from the storm, whether that may be in the miraculous crunch of a mini sweet pepper or, perhaps, in the warmth of a meal shared between friends and family. Enjoy!
