Tewksbury Grace Farm

Greetings from Tewksbury Grace Farm,

Is everyone glad that heat wave is over or what??? We are, and the farm is as well. It has been hot and dry, and we’ve been babying our crops until this beautiful rain finally brought relief in the last 24 hours. On the up side, the hot weather has made for a colorful, sweet, and delicious summer bag this week, filled with lots of tomatoes, beans, eggplant and more. With the cooler weather now, our fall salad, broccoli and Brussel sprouts (among other crops) will really begin to flourish.

Also in your bag is another round of our amazing potato chips, as we wanted all our CSA members to sample them. They are addictive, especially on a big fat ‘mater sandwich with basil and mayo! If you are a Full Share member or a Week B Half Share member, you have a delivery this week. So get ready for the goods!

Note! B Half share members – please pick up your bags asap as there will be frozen berries in your bag this week!!
