Nature looks dead in winter because her life is gathered into her heart. She withers the plant down to the root that she may grow it up again fairer and stronger. She calls her family together within her inmost home to prepare them for being scattered abroad upon the face of the earth. ~Hugh Macmillan, "Rejuvenescence," The Ministry of Nature, 1871
Dear Friends, Point of business first. Again, with the upcoming holidays, our normal schedule has to be rearranged. The week of the 23rd, we will be delivering Wednesday's on Monday and Thursday's on the 24th. Same schedule again for 30th and 31st. Now I know this is not terribly convenient for some of you, and frankly, it's not for us either however, it is what it is. If some of you kind hearted souls would like to skip your delivery and donate to the farm, truly, it will be much appreciated to all the staff.
Most all of your ingredients this week should be familiar friends with possibly the exception of either bok choi or tat soi.
