2022 CSA

We have had a lot of inquiries about our 2022 CSA. Hopefully this will answer a few questions and explain what we will be posting about in the future. Are you offering a CSA this year?  Yes, however things will be a bit different since my health and the approach we used last year did not mesh. We will continue to offer fresh all natural produce, however instead of an upfront 12 week commitment we will be going weekly this year.

Hello!

Image
Hello again! We have been naughty bloggers and it has almost been a year since our last post. Why? well life is the short answer. The long answer is with all the social media platforms which do you focus on to bring in customers? We are not sure about the answer so we stuck to Facebook and Instagram. You can find links to both of our accounts on the left hand of your screen and at the end of this post Keeping a blog updated is a lot of work, especially if you are not sure if anyone is reading it..lol and extra especially if you tend to ramble. Nonetheless, we are going to try and start it up again. We are going to try and feature a recipe each week that includes something that we sell. We tend to be dreamers so hopefully it works out as well as we are hoping. Thanks again for stopping by. If you want to keep up to date with what is going on here at Pickle Patch Gardens make sure you sign up for our newsletter. The link is on the left hand side of the screen.  You can als...
