CSA Week 2022

I hope everyone is having a great CSA week! What, you don’t know what CSA week is? Well, it is like Festivus but without the aluminum pole and the airing of grievances. I thought with it being CSA week this would be a great time to remind people of the importance of alternative food systems. […]

The Season is Over

Breaking News: We have recently uncovered new evidence that we feel contradicts our analysis outlined in a previous newsletter, specifically The Potato Head Controversy where we discussed the genders and reproduction methods of various vegetables.
