Dear CSA and Friends of Shalom Orchard,
September is here and there are only 5 more CSA pickups! In the past we have skipped a week in order to leave pickups for cider and fall veggies. I will let you know if we are going to do that this year.
I made a mistake on Alice’s departure date – she is with us through this week, so you still have time to say goodbye to her. What a gift she has been this year!
So here goes for this week:

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.
