The Fourth (and final) Week of the Winter Program is:

March 17-20.

This Week's News From The Farms

Despite the current weather, this week's share is a very nice one, in comparison to the last. As we had hoped, the snow receded and the sun peeked through the clouds, just long enough to make it possible to harvest a number of the field crops.

Greenhouse production required some extra attention and heat, and also did well for this week's shares. And, we were able to obtain the organic citrus and some carrots from a local distributor.

So, enjoy, and think of sunshine and warmer weather for the last delivery of the Winter Program March 17-20.

As we stated earlier, we are making sure you get your money's worth from our CSA program now and in the future. Looking ahead to 2011, we are re-assessing the Winter Program after two hard winters. We are adding more greenhouses, more cold-hearty crops, more cold frames and hoop houses in the fields, as well as pursuing our own canned and possibly baked goods. We truly believe a four-season program is necessary for the survival of small family farms, so we can all continue to eat locally.

We thank all of you for your support and belief in Community Supported Agriculture.
