SEEDLINGS

Yes, that time of year has come again.

  

My husband Mike and I headed home from a cold week in Florida to a balmy week in Pennsylania.  The second or third week in February is what is traditionally known as the "onion thaw" a time when you could theoretically plant the first onions of the year.  Instead of field planting I usually go for the more reliable indoor planting.  With our greenhouse still under construction, I have temporarily transformed my attic into my greenhouse.  Pictured above are leeks, onions, pansies, parsley and celery root.   

     We are still accepting applications for our CSA.  Unfortunately, the website is still not up to date.  We still have a few details to figure out but, Jen Lindsay has done a stunning job with the new website and brochures.  I am very thankful for her.  

     Also, stay tuned for several workshops coming up in the spring on small scale planting and nutrition.  This year is shaping up to be very exciting.  I am so please with how the community keeps growing.  

Many blessings to you all. 

OUR 2009 CSA SEASON

Dear Friends of B & H Organic Produce,

  I hope you all had a fabulous holiday and a happy new year.  We are very thankful to all of you for all of your support.  We are pleased to be opening up our CSA membership for the 2009 season.

  A CSA, (Community Supported Agriculture), is a cooperative in which you pay the farmer up front and receive 22 weeks of farm fresh vegetables.  We have spent this winter planning for an amazing 2009 farming season.  I can't wait to get back out into the dirt.  

  In 2009, we are expanding our fields and adding a greenhouse.  However, we are not expanding the number of CSA customers.  So space is limited in order to keep our quality high.  We will also be adding crops such as potatoes, sweet corn, and broccoli.  We will be offering full share and half shares.  This season the full share will be 7-8 items and the half share will be 4 items.  

  Please contact us for more information, pricing and host site locations.  

Thank you, 

Erica Bowers Lavdanski
