RESOURCES
In the last few weeks life has changed dramatically here in Victoria and around the globe as we work together to slow the spread of Covid-19 during this pandemic. There have been many new challenges for some during this stay at home period. Here are some resources to keep you healthy and our community well through all of this. Included is information about CSA farm delivery boxes, other local producers, fitness, and more.
I will work to continually update this information. I do not have any affiliation with anyone listed here. The goal is simply to share resources to help you be your best during this period of time. Additionally, I will continue to make and post videos.
