Juniper Gardens CSA 

 

The CSA for this season (22 weeks long) starts this week. If you join, you get a variety of vegetables once per week. Pick up of vegetables every week is at one of the four locations/times (see attached flyer) that works best for you. Each week's delivery is big enough for 4-5 people and includes staples like root veggies and greens but then has some unique vegetables (with recipes) that are native to the refugees home countries too. The total cost for the season is $462. You can read a bit more about the CSA and sign up here: https://newrootsforrefugees.org/csa/

** Awesome opportunity: If we get 10+ Rotarians to join, we can schedule pick-up on Wednesday during our regular meeting time at Sylvester Powell. How convenient! Please email Dahnika at dahnika.sachs@gmail.com if you plan to join so that we can get a head count.**
