They have connected us with a bunch of fruit growers that have been able to provide us with plums, apricots, cherries, donut peaches, and we have some more great fruits still to come. There are some awesome stories that come with these as well and we will continue to tell those through social media.
There are also a couple fruits that we have found just a small amount of...not enough to put in everyone’s box….BUT, we do want to make it available to everyone through the store.
NECTARINES are an example. Click the image to add them to your order for next week!

It DID NOT get fixed last year just because it feels like it is somewhat back to normal. Keep figuring out ways to
