Crystalwill2's first year farm garden

Created on Monday, 07 Jul 08

growing my first year (at this house) and it happened to be the spring that people are looking for local farmers, so I was in luck. I serve about a dozen familes and deliver fresh produce to their homes.

It’s so cool that you run a CSA. I used to belong to one, and I miss it, but circumstances made it difficult for my husband and me to maintain our membership.
