Hello there CSA-ers…(Pick ups are at the “Coffee, Tea and Me” shop in the Park West mall off the 101 and Northern-just west of the 101 on Northern Ave. The shop is next to the Sees Candy shop on the main spine road of the mall next to the water fountains, fire pits and seating area.You can pick up any time between NOON and 8pm.The produce will not be ready for pick up until noon.

We can’t get you your box until after we have gotten everything unloaded and ready) :) 9744 W Northern AvePeoria, 85345THANK YOU (still) so much for joining me to support our wonderful farmers! We hope that you are all finding the produce to be a wonderful addition to your grocery list each week and that you are pleased with the fresh items and the clean way it is farmed.

We will have fresh eggs again for pick up ($3.50/doz). You can reserve eggs by letting me know and we will set aside for you. Otherwise, it is first come, first serve.
This week we will have a special item for purchase too! Home made, all natural Laundry detergent. It will come in 20 load for $3 or 40 load jars for $5. If you like it and save your jars for a refill...you get a $1 off. Let me know if that is something that you would like. :) Here is what you can expect in your box tomorrow! ****Jesus has also offered to sell MORE bags of the roasted chilis for $3/bag if you want more of those. Just let me know ASAP so that I can tell him how much to roast in the morning.**** 1-Watermelon2-Summer Baby Squash mix3-Large Grey squash4-Cantalope5-Tomatoes 6- Sweet potatoes7-ROASTED Green Chilis!! :)8-fresh Basil!9- SURPRISE ITEM (most likely Cucumbers!! mix of armanian and pickling)10- SURPRISE ITEM (MAY be corn...eggplant...green beans...we'll see) :)Again, If you have anything that you are growing in your backyard garden…feel free to bring some to share.
