We're Going on Vacation!
Matt and I are headed out of town this morning for some much-needed rest and relaxation with our kids. We'll be camping in Michigan and visiting with our friend Mick Klug, the farmer who grows the fruit for our Fruit Share. (We promise to return with lots of photos of Mick's farm!)While we're gone, our employees will be running the show here at our farm. If you need anything this week, you may call the farm and leave a message at 847-548-4030. (Please do not send emails this week as no one will be here to read them.) One of our staff members will be staying at the house and checking phone messages twice a day. We look forward to returning refreshed and ready to take on the second half of the season!
