I am so excited to be making my first post on our Double Oak Farm blog! It has been a big weekend. We finally got the website up and running. We have our first subscription to our new CSA. I’ve started a blog. I think I made a functioning mailing list for our customers. Oh, and I posted our information on Local Harvest. That’s a lot to accomplish in one weekend, especially for a non-tech person like me.

This is such a convenient way to keep everyone informed of our latest plans for this market season. I look forward to hearing what our customers have to say as well. So in addition to all this work on the cyber end of our business we have a few things brewing. Tim is working on the final details of our logo so we can add it to the website and other publications. DJ is working with our Amish growers and our boxes for the CSA. Rod has the fun job of working with the legal stuff so we can have a store to sell from this summer. Christy will help blog, write newsletters and bring you many delicious recipes this summer.

I am pouring over seed catalogs dreaming about spring. Once again I am sure that I need a bigger garden! It's a favorite January activity to sit in front of the wood stove and dream of spring as I sketch out our planting plans.

 It was just last Saturday when the website went “live” and the response has been tremendous! Thank you to everyone who has given feedback. It’s been very helpful. We have sold 4 CSA shares in 3 days and I have a feeling the rest are going to go quickly. We really appreciate all the “word of mouth” advertising.  Next week we hope to start really advertising so if you have friends and family who are interested in a CSA share tell them not to wait.

To show our appreciation for your help with advertising we are going to keep track of referrals. If you refer someone and they join the CSA we will have a special “thank you” gift later this summer.

Stay warm and we'll keep you posted.
