Growing Together :  Availability for August 5th

We can’t believe it’s already August! Although the heat and humidity seem to snap us back to reality quickly enough…

We’ve got some great items up this week – shishitos, cherry tomatoes, long beans, and tons of Roselle (the hibiscus leaves), which we recommend if you haven’t tried yet! A great citrus flavored green you can eat raw in salads or cooked!

Thanks for hanging in there through the summer with us. We appreciate you!
