NO PICK UP TODAY - First pick up will be June 12!

La Baraja Farm will not be able to make our first CSA pick-up day, originally planned to be this Thursday, June 5.

Instead, our first pick-up day will be the following Thursday, June 12.

We sincerely hope this has not caused any inconveniences. Of course, our CSA season will be extended by one week to make up for the loss, and our new final pick-up day will now be November 6, instead of October 30.

Sure, you could just bake fruit in a crust. Or you could let the season’s bounty really shine.
