CSA Season is in Full Swing

It's not too late to sign up for our cooperative CSA program -- a weekly box of fruits and vegetables all grown on local farms.  You can stop by Farmhouse Table for your box or have it delivered to your home or office.  Cooking with produce from a CSA box is fun because you never know exactly what you'll get -- it all depends of what's ripening up in the fields.  Check out our CSA page for more information. 

CSA pick-up days:  Wednesday and Thursday, noon - 6pm.
