Happy New Year to all! We've missed seeing everyone: our wonderful farmers, customers, friends and neighbors since I returned back to school 2 years ago this month! Look for updates this spring semester on our progress! Manna Cabanna hopes to soon have a Registered Dietician/Nutritionist among our team members! ;)

On behalf of the farmers, foragers, food eaters and Manna Cabanna staff and barter-buddies, we thank you for your dedicated and adventurous support of local and organic during this Summer 2018 season.

A big thanks to Jim Manenski again this season for our terrific looking newsletters, unique and delicious recipes, and social media attendance.

Many thanks also to our farmers - you've been seeing their names and faces every week thanks to our CSA distribution coordinators who have rotated through the process. A very special thanks to Manna Cabanna's #2, Maggie Chamberlain, and to weekly guest cook and co-creator of the Farmers Market Lunch Plate Special, Ana Tkacik.

Apologies for leaving any names out....there is no one any less important than the other in the mechanisms and roles we play in our local food system: growers, coordinators, and eaters alike!

Fresh Shrimp and Scallops are here!
Many of you pre-ordered: your orders are ready. We were also able to score a wee bit extra for walk-ins and for anyone that wants to up their order. There’s a limited supply of extras while they last.

For lunch tomorrow at the Wednesday Weekly Market, we will have 1/2lb steamed peel-n-eat with cocktail sauce and hushpuppies as a grab- n-go item as well as Ratatouille with potato gnocchi and side salad. Authentic Tamales and Tamale Plates will be available, as well!

Our CSA is coming to a close with Wednesday, August 15 our last day for the Spring/Summer season. We will be announcing to all what our Winter program will look like as well as when it will begin—typically it starts sometime in November.
During the fall weeks of September and October we’ll be offering a weekly box that can be ordered weekly via an email reply, that will state what is in the box specifically each week. We may be able to offer a half or a whole box. We will try to keep the pricing between $20-$35. Add-ons like eggs, sauces, broths, meats, etc will also be available in this ordering process. More info about this here soon!
