As you know, we are distributing the last CSA share this week since last week we were under a foot of snow. I appreciate your patience and understanding through it. I must say, WGOF has the best CSA members. I know I’ve said this before but thank you for your loyalty and support, if it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t be thriving like we are.
Even though the CSA has ended, you can still enjoy our produce at the year-round markets University District and West Seattle. More of our markets will start April/May/June. Keep up to date on the farm life, events, markets, and produce availability by checking our website and facebook page. See you soon, enjoy!
