Hearing From Our Community

Hearing From Our Community

COMMUNITY FEEDBACK

We have been gathering feedback from our community over the past few months, which will be used to inform our plans for the next season. Safe to say, we'll be continuing with our produce boxes as we have been up until now. We are also hoping to expand to participate in the community in different ways. I know a lot of you are very enthusiastic about supporting local agriculture and so I wanted to share some of the ideas that have been brought forward in case it sparks any conversations in your circles, or ideas in your own mind that you might like to share with us!
