GIVE A FIG ANNUAL AUCTION
GIVE A FIG SECOND ANNUAL BENEFIT AUCTION
The theme for 2008 was “Community Supported Art-n-Culture.” Just like the small farms that grow nourishing & delicious produce through the support of individuals who buy an annual share (or CSA) of that year’s yield, Les Figues makes nutritious & delicious literature through the community support of people like you.
