Spring for B & H


Dear Friends of B & H Organic Produce,
            Spring has sprung at the farm although the weather doesn’t show it.  This spring is drastically different than last year, but beautiful all the same. 
            We were able to pick greens from the greenhouses throughout the winter but not in the volume I would have liked.  January and February were dark months and the greens really needed the sunlight to thrive.  But, they are coming around now and you can find our greens for sale in our store, Hartz Natural Foods and prepared at Papillon Brasserie.
            I am emailing to let you know about a few things coming up at the farm and beyond. 
·      Have you liked us on Facebook?  Please do it is a great way to see what is going on at the farm in real time. 
·      Our “Events” page of our website is up.  There are 2 changes that will be corrected in the next few days. http://www.bhorganicproduce.com/events.html
o   The West Reading Farmer’s Market will be opening earlier this year.  The new date for the market opening is May 12th.
o   The Rt. 10 Organic Grower’s and Nursery Tour will be held on September 7th.
·      Our vegetable CSA is sold out for the 2013 season.  You may email us to get on our waiting list for the 2014 season.   We sold out of shares in record time.  I am very excited.  There are bread shares from Daily Loaf still available.  You can find the information on our CSA page of our website. http://www.bhorganicproduce.com/subscribe.html
·      We will begin selling vegetable starts for your garden this Saturday March 30th  at our store, Hartz Natural Foods (211 Twin County Rd (Rt 10) Morgantown.  We will be selling certified organic Kale, Chard, Cabbage and Broccoli plants.  These plants will also be available for sale at Sugarbush Nursery http://www.sugarbushnursery.com/.
·      We are sorry to announce that we will not be attending The Farmer’s Market at Elverson this season.  It is a lovely market and we will surely miss being there.  It is a purely a business decision to expand the CSA in place of attending this Saturday market. 
·      On May 18th we will be hosting our Meet the Farmer Day and Open House at the farm.  This is a free event for families to come to the farm and learn more about where their food comes from.  The event is held from 9 am till 1 pm with tours at 10 am and noon. 

            Thank you all for your continued support.  We are very excited for another awesome year of farming and market. 
Many Blessings,
Erica Lavdanski
