Sweetwater Pledge to Customers
We here at Sweetwater are grateful for the beautiful weather but anxious for the season of fresh veggies to begin! This is the early springtime of year, when greens are just starting to poke their heads through the mostly still cold, still sleeping soil. But never fear, we still have plenty of good, organically raised and produced food options to get you through to the veggie season!
