Hi folks,
Long time, no blog!
As you’ll remember, Salad Bowl Gardens is on a year long break.
I wanted to list a few Truro-delivering CSAs for those who might be interested in vegetable delivery this season. There are details below about three CSAs. LocalMotive Farm is a friend of mine, Jody, who does a similar box to ours – you can see examples on her website. She grows using organic methods but is not certified. The Vista Bella CSA provides a great variety of interesting veggies, they are a no-spray farm. Waldegrave Farm is certified organic, and is doing a Truro delivery this season.
