Our beautiful and delicious $20 Farmer Pick box this week.

All went pretty well this week with all of our orders, yay! Signal Mountain Farm picked their Broccoli the way we like it: with the lovely leaves still attached. These dark green leaves are full of nutrients and are super tasty! If you like Kale you will love them so don't toss them in the compost! It's a fun and exhilarating time of year for all of our farms as every week the harvests get more diverse and we are all busy planting, weeding and picking. We have had the privilege of hosting a really special young man from France at Moore Farms for a few weeks. Marouane has completed

He has been a great help providing an extra pair of hands, everything from planting and weeding and packing orders to working on the new chicken house. We participate in the international WWOOF program and have hosted dozens of wonderful young folks over the years: wwoofusa.org.

And for everyone's dose of CUTE this week we were happy that our friend and co-worker Jackie Carr brought her kittens to work with her! These little kittens are at that adventurous age where everything is something fun to get into trouble with so she wanted to keep an eye on them. Awwwww!
