Our 2012 CSA season begins Thursday, June 14th!
All members are welcomed to start picking up their shares from 4pm to 7pm.
Members who will be picking up on the farm need to bring their own bag, basket, box, we've even seen laundry baskets, to carry their produce home. All other members will have their boxes prepacked in wax boxes. We do reuse these wax boxes! We ask that you please keep them as clean as possible and return them to your pick up location, unfolded, the following week.
For our members that are picking up on the farm you'll notice that there will be an area designated for CSA and separate area for our farm stand of produce for sale to everyone. We will have a limited amount of eggs available as we are waiting for our young hens to start laying. A few pullet eggs have started a week ago so production should be on it's way soon!
For our members that are picking up at Lake Forest and Logan Square eggs will be available for purchase. These will also be limited quantity!
Future newsletters will be sent out by Wednesday morning. If for some reason we were unable to send it out for Wednesday morning you will receive one by Thursday.
If you live around the farm you've noticed lots of changes to the fields and our farmers hard at work.
Here are a few pictures with what's been going on here!
