Thank you for checking this site out, for sharing in the culinary adventure, and for making suggestions and for sharing ideas and inspirations of your own. Most of all, thank you to Springdell and all of our local Farmers for making this delicious fresh, and honest food available to us throughout what was one of the toughest winters going!
For those that have shared in this Winter CSA, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! For those that have yet to try the Winter CSA, we hope you have been inspired to perhaps consider giving it a try. Now is a great time to sign up for next winter!
Though the Winter CSA has come to an end for the season, the journey is far from over. We will be back tomorrow as we embark on the next chapter of the Springdell Show and Tell here on CSA365! See you then and until tomorrow, sweet and savory dreams!
