Stearns Farm CSA

August is just around the corner and the farm is a-buzzin' with sights and smells:

• See below for a list of what to expect in your share this week.

• Before garlic can cure, it needs to be cured. Ember explains the process from clove to bulb.

• A reminder about Back to School Share start dates and orientation info.

• Starting next week, pick ups are BYOB (Bring Your Own Bags).

• This week, we're starting with a sweet salad and ending with a summer stew.

See you in a week and in the meantime, stay healthy, happy and cool!
