Welcome to those folks who are joining us for the second half of the CSA season. Thank you for your support of the TC3 Farm. And welcome back to my Tompkins Cortland colleagues for the start of a new semester. I love the...
It's hard to believe it, folks, but we have made it to the midpoint of the 2023 season. It really has been an up and down season for us, and we appreciate your support. I'm not sure that I have ever experienced so many "...
