Hello CSA Members,
The CSA potluck last evening was a splendid event. We had a wonderful intimate group of like-minded
individuals. I appreciated all of
your support and positive attitudes.
It is that kind of energy that fuels me through a tough day. If I never said it before I will say it
now “I love my job!”
This year we will be offering a late season CSA. It will run 7 weeks November through
mid December. Space is limited as
we are only looking for 20 members.
I will be sending out a separate email in the next day or so with
details.
You can order by replying to the email or by emailing bhorganicscsa@gmail.com. The orders must be in by Tuesday at 2
pm. Processing the orders takes
some time so I would appreciate no late orders.
Notes about this week’s harvest list:
·
This week you will be able to order multiples of
some items. For example if you
would like 2 orders of lettuce you may do so. If you can order multiples it will be stated next to the
item. If you order 2 orders of
lettuce it counts as 2 orders for your 8 items (for a full share) or 5 items (for
a half share). If and item does not list an option for
ordering multiples then you cannot order multiples of that item.
·
If you do not order we do not usually give herbs
or flowers. If you do not want to
order all of your items and would like to be surprised be sure to request the
herbs or flowers.
·
Potatoes will be returning soon. We have been having trouble with our
harvester and so have had to take a bit of a break from harvesting. There are potatoes to come in the next
few weeks. Sorry for the
interruption.
