April showers have indeed brought May flowers, gracing Bella Luna with a lush beauty as spring has arrived in all its glory.
The grounds are awash in color, from the bluebells and forget-me-nots to over 3,500 rhododendrons; the native trillium and huckleberry are also flowering underneath the Bigleaf maple trees (where we’ve even spotted a few nests and baby birds!). Blooming on all corners of the property, our many different fruits – from the apple and pear trees to the blueberry, strawberry and raspberry plants – are also eagerly awaiting a visit from one or more of our local hard working bees.
As promised last month, we are also making fresh updates to our weekly box subscriptions: We know that oftentimes one size does not fit all, so in that spirit we are now offering a smaller version of our weekly box delivery for subscribers who wish it. This option will include a half dozen eggs, wine and bread and then smaller portions of the fresh vegetables, fruits and housemade goods and local provisions – making it ideal for smaller families and appetites! Subscribers who elect to stay on the current plan will now receive our new larger box option with the same locally-grown produce and provisions, plus a dozen eggs each week. You may select a new plan at the beginning of your next subscription cycle; for full details, see here.
Additionally, after two years without a change, we also find it necessary to increase the price of our weekly subscriptions due to rising costs. Full details and new pricing are available here; rates will increase approximately 10%. Here at Farm & Larder we are committed to providing you the best in artisanal provisions and farm-fresh produce and want to ensure you receive the highest quality available each and every week. We greatly value your business, please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions!
