Dear Shareholders,

Thank you for making it out to our first distribution last night!  We realize that for some of you, it was a longer drive than usual but we are all glad everyone had a chance to see where your food is coming from. We hope you also enjoyed the cooking demonstration with Susan Evans.

If you weren’t able to purchase a CSA tote bag, they will still be available for sale at next week’s distributions.

Please keep in mind the times and location of your distribution.  If you are picking up your produce at York St., we will be at the south end of the top level of the parking structure from 4:30 - 7 p.m.

farm topic of the

Farm Blogging!

We have a new resident CSA blogger, Vicki Witt Phillips. She already has posted her first blog on our website with a very enthusiastic welcome from our community. Vicki’s blog will focus on her first experiences, thoughts and insights on being a CSA member. Ever felt vegetable anxiety? Or just simply overwhelmed by all your produce? Vicki will make you laugh and make you feel reassured you can handle a huge bunch of radishes or something else you may have never seen before.  

Here is a link to Vicki's first blog entry. To follow her blog on the CSA website, go to 'about us,' 'news & blog.'  


food safety
note

Please note that although we have washed our produce once after harvesting it in the field, members should wash the produce at home again before eating. Our farm produce should be treated the same way as grocery store produce: always wash before eating! The best way to wash produce is by running it under cool water. Cleaning products are not necessary.
