Thank you so much for an amazing first season! It's been a challenging first year, but growing food for our incredible community has truly fulfilled our spirits and we're already looking forward to next year! As we've talked about all season long, the weather this year has been less than ideal. We had a hard frost on Monday night and though we covered many things to try to protect them, some frost damage still occurred. We're trying our best to provide you with the best quality local veggies, however you may find that the quality this last week is not up to our usual standards. We thank you for your understanding and your continued support of us as your local farmers. This is the last official week of the Frisky Girl Farm CSA, however barring any more major weather events we're hoping to do a bonus week the Tuesday before Thanksgiving so that everyone can enjoy a locally grown holiday meal. This also means you'll have one more chance to spend through your CSA balance before then end of the year. Balances do not roll over into next year so make sure to spend what you've got!
