Hello CSA and Friends of Shalom Orchard,

The rain yesterday was very welcome and it is good to see the sun again today! What a great growing season!! We are fortunate to have Jason and Lily join us – they are WWOOFers and will be here for two weeks.

We are picking up lamb this week and I have listed the prices below. Some of you have asked about lamb and now we have it! It will be frozen when we pick it up from the butcher.

Jason and Lily will deliver the COA pickup at 4:00 PM at the Turrets parking lot.

From Harmony Mill Dairy: John Pierce will drop off orders for Wed. pickup. We do this just as a convenience. If you don’t know Harmony Mill Dairy, it is a small dairy in Waltham. The milk is unpasteurized and comes in returnable 1/2 gal. bottles. John Edwards carries this milk as well as other natural food stores. These products do not count as part of your share, they are paid for separately.
