It's sad to see the season end. We have missed our weekly visits with our shareholders. It's been a great season, minus a few weather problems but that's farming. We loved being your farmers and watching you dig into your boxes, like one shareholder said it was like Christmas every week. We are already looking forward to next years season. We are buzy pulling the plants from the field, spreading compost, picking newly emerged rocks from the field, planting cover crops, weeding the brambles and getting the greenhouses ready for winter production. Judy and I are attending seminars for growers during the winter months to learn all that we can learn to be better growers. Seed catalogs are already starting to arrive. We will be posting information joining for the 2010 season both on the website and our blog shortly. We have decided to add a limited amount of new shares for the next season. If anyone knows of anyone that would like to join please have them contact us as soon as possible, for we have already filled half on the spots that we have opened up. We are excited to announce that we will be adding HONEY to our CSA offerings in 2010 at no extra cost to our shareholders. We are also looking into adding eggs. That will bring back allot of memories.....for that was one of my jobs growing up feeding the chickens and gathering the eggs!We are also thinking about having a Spring Blessings of the Fields.
Thanks to all of you for returning your surveys, they will help us serve you better in the coming season.
Our Thanksgiving table was filled with the last of the bounty from this year's share...pumpkin pie, potatoes, sugar snap peas from the freezer......

Thanks for everything,

btw I lost 10 lbs without trying on the CSA diet! (sounds like a late-night commercial)
Kate,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great reference....we enjoyed serving our shareholders and we also are looking forward to the 2010 season. We miss you guys, it really was like you all became part of the farm family. Tell your son Lily kitty was lonely in the barn with us not out there as much so she moved herself to the house with Trouble cat...but I'm sure she'll be back at the barn in the spring!
