Week #13 – July 25th [Aweek] & Week #14 – Aug 1st [Bweek]

It has been a busy busy Summer here at Southside CSA headquarters. Camping trips, supper clubs, art projects, working on Taste Williamsburg, visiting guests, and bbq’s have kept us from timely updates. Lo siento! Hope you have been having fun cooking up all that fab produce and enjoying the start of the orchard share. As always the shares have been super-fab; ain’t nothing better than fresh, local produce hand-picked by farmers who work night and day to ensure that the food we put into our bodies is healthy and natural. After the jump will be the lists of produce received the last 2 weeks…

We then donated the rest of the “leftovers” to the Southside Mission Food Pantry. Thanks to all of this week’s volunteers for helping out, cooking up a storm, and driving over the produce.
