Buddies
  
Members-to-be Debora and Jeff visited (with appropriate social distancing) Lydia and Chris (Lydia is Deb’s ‘buddy’) to have tea in the garden and to bring a bag of organic flour, some apples and some farm fresh eggs.  They are well and assure us all that you can take a drive and shop safely at many farms in the valley.  The farms have put really good measures in place to keep everyone safe.  Deb also says that Farmers Markets are operating and using super good social distancing measures.  Support our Small Farmers!
