The End of the First Year

The final days of 2013 are upon us. As we reflect on this year though, we feel hopeful and grateful. Grateful that the weather was a little kinder than some years. It was a rocky start with the cold wet spring we but sailed through the summer with "periods of rain, followed by sunshine." Who could ask for more than that? We also are grateful for our brave new members! Thank you for... being a part of BUPPERT'S CSA! Instead of picking up your flowers, tomatoes, pumpkins and sweet corn at the local chain store, you chose to invest in us. We strive to always provide the best quality and we thank you for supporting our new endeavor!
We are hopeful for next year. The awareness of "supporting local farmers" and choosing healthy, fresh foods has been great. We have never seen this many people excited about kale! And, your enthusiasm is contagious!
As we close the market, we are ready to dive into the seed catalogues and begin planning for 2014!
Exhausted, grateful, hopeful and excited. Thank you for supporting our family farm!
