Abbe Hills Farm CSA

Greetings shareholders and friends of Abbe Hills Farm,

Market tomorrow morning at the Community Center in MV.  We're bringing a few eggs and a few potatoes.  You could also get crusty bread, wine, coffee, meat, bakery, more eggs, more vegetables, black walnuts.

The website drama continues, but the GOOD NEWS is - we've got the information for the 2017 CSA Season available at a temporary website, www.abbehills.farm  .  We'll go back to abbehills.com just as soon as we can, but for now ABBEHILLS.FARM is the place to get the scoop and a REGISTRATION FORM.  New website, mobile friendly.  I'm feeling pretty modern.

We are excited to add a Cedar Rapids drop site, hoping to gain 50 new shareholder families this season.  Our host is Noelridge Christian Church, 7111 C Ave NE, near Boyson Rd at the Bowman Woods entrance off C Ave.  Pickups there are going to be all about the vegs. just 8:00 to 9:00 am on Saturday mornings.  And if you love the downtown market, you'll be able to get your veggies and still get downtown in plenty of time to get a treat.

At the farm on Monday and Thursday afternoons, 4:30 until 6:00, we'll have all the bonuses that you love, including our favorite bread bakers, cheese and ice cream from Dan and Debbie's Creamery, apples shares and apples from Buffalo Ridge Orchard, and herbs and cherry tomatoes to pick.  The people who pick up at the farm are going to have all the fun!

Sorry, but still no paying for your share with your credit card.  We don't have the right technology yet, but it could still happen before the first of June.  If you want to join and you just can't get yourself to print off a form, write a check, find an envelope, buy a stamp (a lot, I know), call me or zap me a note and we'll do it over the phone. 319-895-6924.  I'll also have plenty of registration forms with me at the market on Saturdays.  And I am perfectly OK taking cash!

If you need a lunch-n-learn speaker for your company, or moms group, or Sunday school class, or yoga school, or exercise club, or cooking collective, or whatever, please let me know.  It's time to get out there and talk up the CSA.  I know there are at least fifty more families that would find out that they like vegetables if they gave it a try.

See you tomorrow.
