Welcome to the 2012 Chatfield CSA Season!

Posted 4/18/2012 4:37pm by Josie Hart Genter.

Dear Chatfield CSA Shareholders,

Welcome to the Chatfield CSA from all of us at the farm. We welcome you not only as shareholders, but as members of our community. We have many exciting things to announce for 2012 as well as some important dates for your calendars.

CSA Open House
We are hosting our first community get-together on Sunday June 3 at Chatfield from 1-3 p.m. We strongly encourage you all to visit the farm – whether you were a shareholder last year or you have never been to the CSA, it is always changing and growing in beauty.  On June 3 you will have the opportunity to take a tour of the entire Chatfield CSA farm, meet the people growing your food (as well as other CSA shareholders), take a look at where your food is processed and learn how to best utilize your CSA share on a weekly basis. We will also offer two more community potlucks throughout the season where you can enjoy great local food with your CSA community at Green Farm Barn.

Distribution Locations and Times – Please bring your own bags!
Denver Botanic Gardens at York Street Shareholders: If you signed up for Tuesday distribution, please head to the top (street level) of the south end of the parking structure. Because this location is outside, we will alert you via email if we have to move our pickup location underground or to another location. Directions to York Street Distribution Every Tuesday 4:40 -7 p.m.

Chatfield Shareholders: If you signed up for Thursday distribution you will pick up your produce at Chatfield, the main CSA location. When you enter through our main gate, please look for parking signs – parking locations will vary depending on events happening at Chatfield. After parking please head to our washstand in the Hildebrand Ranch area. Distribution times are from 4-7 p.m. every Thursday. Directions to the Chatfield CSA

Shareholder Benefits
We also offer other benefits to CSA shareholders: a weekly newsletter with recipes and information on your CSA produce; a recipe resource from various CSAs around the country; and our website with blogs, updated photos of the farm, an active calendar and many other useful items. chatfieldcsa.org

New this year: The CSA Education Series. CSA members will enjoy an extremely discounted registration fee to our new classes offered at Chatfield with the generous support from Kaiser Permanente. To register for a class or to view the entire schedule, please visit CSA Class Series

Classes are $7 to CSA shareholders only, with an additional materials fee to select classes of $5. This is a great opportunity to learn more about cooking, sustainable agriculture, canning and preserving, natural herbal remedies and the best way to use your produce. All classes are designed to accommodate children, with a few classes designed just for kids who want to cook!

Also New this Year: Canning and Preserving Share for $50. Please email us at if you interested in signing up. Participants will likely receive bulk amounts of crops such as cucumbers for pickles, tomatoes for sauces, and carrots or other root vegetables mainly in July, August and September. Canning shareholders are asked to come at the last half hour of distribution so we have the staff to assist with your additional produce.  Canning shares are limited!

Fruit Shares
Ela Family Farms will be adding an informational blog to their website this year for people who have purchased a fruit share. You still have until May 1 to purchase a fruit share for $210. If you have not already done so, please go to chatfieldcsa.org/members 

Things are going great at the farm. We have many crops already planted and we are growing many more in our greenhouses. We would like to thank you all for being a part of the CSA this year and we look forward to seeing you June 3 for our Open House.

We encourage everyone to visit regularly and learn how we grow your food. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer with the CSA, please visit our website at:   Volunteer with the CSA


Thanks!
-The CSA Team
