2/15 Shares + Bulk Menu + 2/28 Pickled & Preserved

[Edible Alchemy]

Good afternoon!

Happy snow, and happy sunshine.  What a winter this year.  Shares are bountiful, and beginning to show a good bit of warmer climate produce- the fruit shares are 100% tropical, and the produce shares 70% local still, but with avocados and greens from the warm southwest.

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!
