I am off to Orcas Island, WA for a week for a friend’s wedding. If you have questions or need to get a hold of us this week, please email my dad Darwin at ReimannFarm (at) yahoo (dot) com. I will hopefully be back in time to help with the delivery next week, lucky #13, but your food will be harvested on Sunday by Darwin, Maggie, and Natalie. THANKS to them all for letting me sneak away in the middle of peak harvest season!
