It's so cold!

But you knew that.

Though, we still do have quite a good range of local veggies & apples for your pantry.  This week, produce is 90% local and fruit is 70%.  Not too bad, considering we can't go outside without freezing our eyelashes nowadays.  Thanks to our farmers for growing enough to feed us through the winter.

Also:  MARK YOUR CALENDERS FOR THE GOOD FOOD FESTIVAL! 
March 13,14 & 15.  Find more info at www.goodfoodfestivals.com , and stay posted here via EA.  We're quite involved this year again and hope to see you there with us!

We're making a lot of changes and updates to shares, locations, and prices this year. Keep your finger on the pulse and give us your feedback here: http://bit.ly/II2jmm --It's only 12 short questions, and should only take 3-5 minutes. We always get better with comments from you!
