Monday March 8, 2010

 

Greetings Saratoga CSA Members,

 

            The Greenhouse has been fired up and already the beets, collards, shallots, and broccoli are sprouting! I love it when I am inside there and can feel the March sun pouring in, warming us as if it were the middle of July. I am writing with a “Last Call” to all of you who have kept the agreement form buried in your desk pile. We have a bit more time and room this season. Please tell your friends and co-workers to contact us if they are interested in joining for the 2010 season. I expect that by April 1st, we will be full.

             I want to thank all of you who have already signed up and offer a special note of appreciation to those who have donated towards the low-income shares. I encourage you to talk up the low-income share to those who are facing financial challenges.

            As always, thank you for your past support. CSA membership sustains us as local, organic farmers in ways that other marketing techniques cannot. You provide us with a stable partnership and as a result, we can more efficiently manage and provide for the harvest. Neither restaurant/wholesale markets nor Farmers’ Markets have those capabilities.

            So, thank you. Brian and I are truly grateful for all of you. You have brought us much nourishment with your work at the farm and markets and with your thoughtful and kind words.

            Take good care - Justin
