From Jeff Bordes

Greetings!

Farmer Al, Becky, and Family are all taking a much deserved vacation this week. Farmer Al’s newsletter will be back next week, meanwhile I have some CSA updates for you.

Life still moves on at the farm as we prepare for the upcoming harvest! With our new CSA structure comes our Summer Season for CSA members. Stay tuned for information on signing up for your summer membership.

Mark your calendars now for our first CSA Celebration of the year. On March 13th we’ll be having a Blossom Festival at the farm–a perfect opportunity for you to bring the family and friends to see the beauty of Frog Hollow Farm.

To conclude my time in the newsletter, I wanted to thank each of you for your ongoing support during the winter months. We depend on each of you in many ways, including your help in growing our CSA. If you know of anyone who might value knowing where their food comes from, and loves fruit for their family–please have them give us a call! We’d love to welcome them to our CSA community!

Best Wishes,

Jeff Bordes
