Upick week of middle to end of August

The season is getting late and members that have not been able to get here
still need to enjoy some of the fruits of our labor.
Now is the time since August is half over.

We have put together a selection of goods available now.
Please pick up your basket available for each CSA Member that will include the following:

2 small brown bags of potatoes - fingerling and gold -$5
3 savoy cabbage                                                           $7

August 17th - Finally, Ripe Tomatoes!

Tomatoes are picked daily when ripe and placed in the store.
One quart is $4.50 (this is less than $3 /lb) or $1 each tomato.

Please do not pick tomatoes or handle tomatoes.  Since they are heirloom, they are very fragile.
Thank you.

Introducing one of our Sister Farms

This sister farm is the mirror image of Ambrosia in it's sustainable techniques  - they are beyond organic - no plastic - no gmos - no additives expect the compost, glass clippings, cover cropping, and mulch.

We are shepherds to the land, our sister farm and us, only giving for the sake of being nurturing, kind, generous, and altruistic - as most parents are to their children.  Perhaps that is what you are too - a nurturer of Ambrosia Farms, because you support our way of giving to the Earth and to creatures great and small -  to our bodies, and to our selves!
