We still have room for the 2014 CSA season

Hi Everyone-

 

Hope you are well.  We are busy here - we had 12 lambs this spring and the greenhouse is overfilling with transplants and cherry tomatoes (including sungolds) in the hoophouse, lettuce, spinach bok choy, peas, arugula, carrots, and more are already in the ground.

 

I am sending out to folks we haven't heard from yet - are you interested in a csa share this year?

Here is the link for our 2014 CSA brochure and signup.

 

We have deliveries set from Fort Ethan Allen in Colchester and Fletcher Allen Hospital during their Farmers Market on Thursdays. There is talk we might be having one at CCV in Winooski.  We could add another site for delivery but we would need 10 or more to sign up for that one location. Financial Aid and payment plans still available.

 

We are working on a new website with my sister, Sue, which should be up and running soon, thanks for your patience with our antiquated website. Sue's new website is amazing - hoping to go live soon. 

 

We look forward to hearing from you,

 

Thanks Christine, Adam, Sadie and Delia
