The Honey Brook Organic farms which was offering box shares of fresh farm food week after week discontinued its CSA program late last year. In an emotional email to all its members,

The farmer had an open house at her farm today and spent a good 3-4 hours explaining what it means to farm and what it takes to make it financially sustainable. This wasnt the first time I visited a farm nor the first time I spoke to a farmer, but every interaction feels anew.
