MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS

Week 49/52 of 2022

Dear Farm Members,

What a joy to have all this rain! And more to come! We rely on the rain we receive during winter months to irrigate throughout the entirety of the 'dry' season, which seems to get longer every year. It's a relief to see this precipitation materialize, here to fill up our figurative buckets.

This week, our winter crew will gather and put our heads together to order all the seeds we need for the 2023 season. This is a fun collaborative process with lots of price shopping and triple checking numbers to make sure we buy the right number of seeds. Fun fact, we ordered 300,000 scallion seeds for the year!

May this week find you all keeping cozy with full bellies, family, and friends amidst some wonderfully cozy weather.

Enjoy your shares week,

Grace
