LEONIA: The Leonia Sculpture Garden on Broad Ave. between Beechwood Pl. and Woodland Pl.
Pick up will be from 9am – 12 noon: NOVEMBER 3d. Come early! Remember your produce is waiting in a shady location outside. Pick up your produce earlier, and your produce will be tastier.
Do I have to be a Leonia or Edgewater school district parent to participate?
- The fundraiser isn’t limited to parents and students. We want the entire Leonia and Edgewater community to participate! Please spread the word!
What happens if I can’t pick up my box? Can I go to Honeybrook Farm and pick my box up there?
- Sorry, this is fresh organic produce, and we can’t offer a credit or return. Since this is a fundraiser, you can’t go to Honey Brook Farm to pick up your box. Please ask a friend or neighbor to pick up your box. Any box that doesn’t get picked up will be dropped off at our local soup kitchen @ Center for Food Action in Englewood.
