We’ve delivered over 200 pounds of fresh, healthy, organic produce to the food pantry in just the last two weeks! We have now delivered just under 600 pounds from the garden this season. Take a look at our harvest webpage to see how our garden is growing and what is growing.
 Weighing the Produce This morning Carla delivered Katahdin potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, lots of beautiful cherry tomatoes, green and yellow beans, radishes, eggplant, pumpkins, basil, swiss chard and flowers to the food pantry. We filled up the entire back of her station wagon as well as the front passenger seat.
 On the way to the food pantry For those of you keeping tabs on the contest: There are 21 people still in contention to win the award for most accurate guess of how many pounds the garden will grow… unfortunately, Dana, Ron, Teresa, Connie, Tom, Barbara, and Amy are no longer in the running…
