NectarinesFrom the MHNA listserv: If you like nectarines, you will be in heaven because Kuhn is running a HUGE sale on their red-gold nectarines (my personal favorites). ½ bushel box (about 25 pounds) for 25 dollars, about $1 a pound. Make jam, make nectarine cobblers, have a gazpacho party and top each serving with heaps of nectarine cubes, make tomato-nectarine salad…split the box with friends. Please place your order by calling the office: 717-334-2722.

Other sales: cherry tomatoes, seedless grapes, blackberry/raspberry mixes.

Also email Garner if you want a 25 pound box of sauce tomatoes for 15 (seconds), 20 (firsts) Bernard Boyle wbboylejr AT gmail dot com
