From my mailbox to you:
"Silver Springs organic farmers Ray and Virginia Johnson are preparing for another busy season at the farm. They are inviting people who love their veggies to call soon for Custom Gardens Farm’s - Western Nevada CSA subscription program and/or their popular adult volunteer opportunity. They are now accepting memberships for both programs, for coming spring / summer season. The Johnson’s have one central delivery pick-up site in the Reno/Sparks area, and this weekly CSA site is limited in number of members.
In addition to the CSA subscription memberships, a few individuals are invited to join the farm’s popular adult volunteer program, called Food-For-Work exchange.
Volunteers commit to one-half day a week at the farm, exchanging their energy and gardening knowledge and gardening help for a farmer-paid CSA membership. Food-For-Work volunteers have the opportunity to learn new, or advance their organic gardening expertise. FFW members enjoy the physical workout – helping with various farm tasks and programs.
In addition to the CSA membership programs, and an open Sunday green-market day at the farm, Custom Gardens participates in providing fresh produce for state commodity and the senior farmer’s market nutrition programs.
The Johnson’s annual farm production includes a wide variety of A to Z vegetables, herbs, cut-flowers, specialty salad or stir-fry greens, and "recipe meal packs". Other farm treats include a variety of vine, bush, and tree fruit, as nature permits. Members also receive a weekly news letter with recipes, and an automatic invitation at the popular end-of-season Food and Farm-Fest Celebration.
Ray and Virginia invite interested persons to contact them, soon, while subscription and FFW membership openings remain. A current Custom Gardens information brochure is available for the asking. Please call 577-2069 or otherwise contact them by email or visit the farm website. "
