Grow for Me Sustainable Farm and Teaching Center (previously known as Girl Farm) is now taking subscriptions for the 2009 season. This is a really great CSA program for quite a few reasons. First, they’re on a mission to train future farmers. Second, if Mother Nature is cooperative the share includes veggies, fruits and nuts. Third, program subscribers can also purchase dairy shares. And finally, they offer a range of basket sizes for all and special deals for students.
See the excerpt from an my mailbox below and go to GFMSFATC for more information.
"Hi all - as you may or may not know we are in transition from being a for profit farming operation to a nonprofit sustainable teaching farm and retreat. Currently we have placement for 25 new members for the 2009 season - memberships seem to go quickly especially the full season as our current members are still receiving fresh produce (cool weather crops, winter squash and root vegetables, and lots of greens) and of course the apples and berries were delicious this year - which is quite appealing considering the cost of food currently.
We look forward to another healthful season of bringing local fresh fruits and vegetables to your table. For those of you unfamiliar with a CSA and why it is a prepay program your dollars are directly used to add new crops (seeds, starts, and fruit, nut, and berries) to coordinate the largest variety and best and earliest and extended harvest your relationship to the farm purchased by your share allows us to organize and be prepared for the season.
Farmers rarely rest in fact planning is what has made us so successful and what we believe will be a promise to the future for generations. Won't you consider joining us?"
