seventeen consecutive weeks. Pick up times are 4 -6 PM. Pickup

Hours worked:
Email worked hours: Katherine is the person who keeps track of work hours at Mill River Valley Gardens CSA <mrvg.csa@gmail.com>. Katherine's cell phone: 617-650-5253 Whitney and Chris: I
thank those of you who have already come up to do your work hours. It's
getting really busy now and the pace will quicken once the CSA starts.
If you are coming to help, please remember gloves, sunscreen, water,
etc. It is too hot to work mid-day if the sun is out. I have to
work from 6am to sundown. I don't want to be out at noon, you don't
either. So my typical day goes early morning to noon, 3pm or so to dark
with the break in the middle to do errands and paperwork. |
