Loess Hills CSA Carson - Hancock, Iowa

02/14/2017

Hello Loess Hills cCSA Supporters!

As the weather warms, we want to inform you that we will be taking a break from hosting a CSA in 2017 with the hope of finding a farm to partner with in 2018.

In the meantime, Old Tree Farm (Mike's farm) will be hosting a nearly identical CSA with all the same great produce and a few new EGGcellent additions. You can find all of the details here:

http://www.oldtreefarm.com/csa

If you sign up during the month of February, you can save an extra $20 off of your base share price. Consider partnering with Old Tree Farm soon because it won't be long before our fields are full of delicious green produce once again!
