St. Ignatius Seniors: Healthy harvest

Apples, pears, tomatoes, cucumbers, and squash – this year’s healthy crops. Hope you have been able to can, freeze, pickle, dry and package some to be used later during the winter. I know of several bears that have been storing up for the cold weather.

Our cooks continue to make a variety of good tasting meals using local produce.
