Dear CSA Member, We hope you are doing well considering the storm we had last week. With the weather, it made for a challenging CSA distribution and we wanted to extend our most thanks to all the CSA volunteers who made distribution happen. Thank You! More tomatoes this week. They won't last too much longer so enjoy them while they are producing! If you are interested in preserving tomatoes for the winter months NOW is the time to do it. We have bulk boxes of tomatoes available through our online marketplace. (Log in to your Member Account to Order) Tomato sauce, chunked tomatoes, chutney whichever you prefer. These are all great to enjoy during the winter months. Enjoy the harvest! Sincerely, Candice for Everyone at Stoneledge Farm
Don't forget to check out the marketplace weekly.
We update the fruit on Sunday mornings if you are interested in fruit in bulk.
