Fall Extension Week 2

Welcome to Week 2 of your Fall Extension CSA!

By 11 am on Tuesday there was 1 inch of rain that fell on the farm. This made for a very muddy harvest and lots of good humor between the crew. Most of our rain gear served us well except for those occasional holes that developed through out the season! 

Thank you for all of you who have joined our Half Hog Share this season! We are sold out of our shares but will have individual cuts available for sale beginning Saturday December 17 at the farm stand from 2 until 4pm. We'll be sure to send out a second notice as a reminder when we get closer to the date.

Our 2012 CSA will be available through our newsletter beginning next week!

There is always a lot of decision making when planning for the next season's CSA. One avenue that would benefit us would be your feedback! If you would like to give your comments we sure would appreciate it, send us an email or if you'd like to be anonymous send us a note through the mail. Thank you!

We would like to say, "Thank you! Armando for 5 years
 of your dedication and helping us in growing our farm!"
