Our first season of the Autumn Harvest Box….and what a box it is.
The season has been remarkable mild and many of our leafy green have held on. We are so pleased. A few experiments were a success and the box (actually 2 boxes!) holds quite the bounty. The harvest weighs out at 58 pounds. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving.
