CSA Box #1 from C&T Produce.
It’s time for CSA boxes with C&T Produce.
Look at all the shares waiting to be picked up from the Farm Tent Stand in Stafford! So exciting.
I picked up my first CSA box and it is packed full of so many goodies.

I picked up a small box and here’s everything that was in it. You can’t get any fresher than this. Straight from the farm to my table.
There’s still plenty of starter plants for your garden too.
