Last Chance for a Summer Organic Veggie Share

Augsburg is one of the Twin Cities drop sites for organic vegetable shares from Ploughshare Farm (www.ploughshare.com). The 2014 share owners got an email from Farmer Gary this morning confirming that the first summer shares will be delivered next Thursday, June 12. There are still a few shares left, so if you've been considering signing up there's still time (but not much!). 

Go to www.ploughshare.com for more info about share options. If you have questions about what it's like to have a weekly delivery of straight-off-the-farm organic vegetables or about the Augsburg College drop-site logistics, send me an email at rjohn@augsburg.edu .
