Week 11 of Pekarek’s Produce CSA 2013
Dobry Den! Let me start off by apologizing for the lack of CSA Newsletters in the last two weeks. There has been so much activity on the farm, that it seemed impossible to get anything done inside.

Dobry Den! Like always, there are lots of activities that have been taking place on the farm. We had a bit of a watermelon debacle earlier this season.
