Dear CSA and Friends of Shalom Orchard,

As we have been raking in the blueberry barrens, we have found that we have been hit with a late Spring frost, which means that our crop is thin. We have located another source of bulk, frozen blueberries from another organic farm in order to supply your bulk orders.

Please let us know if you have any questions about this. The price will be the same, $3.25/# and they will be packaged in 30# bags.

We will need to arrange specific times for pickup for the bulk berries as we have limited freezer space.

I look forward to hearing from you about this.

Thank you, Charlotte

Dear CSA and Friends of Shalom Orchard,

I am sorry to have missed the pickup last Wednesday; I was in the MDI Hospital ER having IV antibiotics for yet another infection in my leg! I went back on Thursday for another round, but Friday I went to the Wound Clinic at St. Joe’s and I think we are on the right track now.

I hope you met my grandkids, Kamaria and Caelan. Their Mom, Kendall, is here now until Wednesday, so we are enjoying some time together.

So here goes for this week:
