Flushing CSA (Week 13) Update!

Hard to believe we’ve reached the half way point for the 2019 season! It’s been a great one so far!  More tomatoes (red and sungold cherry) this week – 4+ lbs for everyone!  Peppers this week too and we may get kohlrabi – it’s in rotation.

Our Volunteers
Thank you to last week’s volunteers: Amy, Kate and Caroline This week’s volunteers are: John and Judith F.

Fruit shares for those who get them. If you have a fruit share but your share partner didn’t sign up for one, please tell the volunteer that you are getting it so that your partner also does not take one by mistake. Lewis Waite delivery this week.
