Winter 2013/2012 - Fresh Fork Market

Winter Share 2012-13 – Week 13

Lots of exciting stuff this week. I went a little out of control on the budget, but I’ll have to make that up some in the next couple bags (which are also quite exciting…although maybe a little smaller). In addition, please see below about a few very noteworthy events around Cleveland. These are not Fresh…

Winter Share 2012-13 – Week 11

These past several days have been excellent weather for “sugaring.” When the day temperatures get above freezing, particularly the 50s, and then drop down to freezing at night, the sap in the trees really runs.
