We’ve got a lot of exciting produce this week! If you’ve been looking forward to some fresh rhubarb for jams, pies, and pastries, you are in luck, we’ve got it this week! With our rainy weather these past few days it’s the perfect time to do some baking. At the end of this month we have a full weekend of events! On the 28th we have our Member Meeting at the Anacortes Public Library, and Taste the Season on the 29th. Check out this link for more information http://www.anacortesfoodcoop.com/events/
