We will not be at Cowtown this Saturday as I have a class to teach Saturday morning. The farm stand will be open as usual at the corner of Rosedale and Evans (1109 Evans) from 1 PM until 4 PM. Come meet our new Volunteer Coordinator, Jay Jimenez, and but the first of the season fresh tomatoes! See you there!
