It’s not worth my time to go to market, or to set up a specific distribution time, but if anyone is interested in more of last year’s carrots, I’m selling them for $1.25/lb. Also we have more greens in our greenhouse than we can eat right now, so would sell you some for $4/lb. If you are interested, please arrange a time and an amount and we can get them ready for you!
Durham member Beth Hamilton has created a Facebook page for the farm, “like” it at www.facebook.com/SaugeenRiverCSA We are hoping this will be a forum for sharing more about the regular activities on the farm, and a space for recipe sharing and stories.
Spring has taken a while to come, but it is finally here with a thunderstorm as I post this! If you have only given a deposit for your share, now would be a good time to make a second payment, or better yet, send me monthly post-dated cheques for the remainder of your share. And if you have not sent in your first payment, and still intend to get a share for this season, please send it in or at least let me know your intent before the CSA fills up.
To view the newsletter (there’s a couple of pictures this time), go to the Newsletters page and click on “April 2013″ to access the PDF file.
We are exploring a slight shift in some of the farm’s activities. We have always had a balance of education and production here, and want to add more learning opportunities. Inspired by the 2012 Biodynamic Conference in Wisconsin on Sacred Agriculture, my wife, Tanya, and I are excited to explore what that means. Our farm has always practiced Biodynamics, which offers a window and doorway into a Sacred Agriculture, and behind that doorway, we can meet many people coming from other doorways into this circle of a Sacred relationship to the Earth. Complementing the educational offerings, we will also be hosting seasonal ceremonies, blessing the farm and the life that supports us. A list and dates are posted on the education page, and below is our upcoming spring event.
New this coming season, we will be experimenting with CSA shares available for pick-up at Chicory Common Natural Foods store in Durham. This will be on Tuesdays from 3-6pm. We will have a few items in abundance for sale as well. This will start with our normal harvest season around the third week of June, and run every week until the middle of November. Contact me for more information.
