A Season of Gratitude
We are so thankful for a fall season without a major hurricane, and especially for the love and support we’ve received from so many of our customers.
Several years ago, you asked us to open the grove for U-Pick and create a way to shop with us in person. What began with those requests has grown into such a wonderful celebration of the earth’s bounty — and one of our favorite ways to share the grove with all of you.
We wish you and your families a very safe, happy and thankful Thanksgiving season.
