Abbe Hills Farm CSA

Greetings shareholders,

Our little market - the first and oldest year round market in Iowa! - is tomorrow morning, 10:00 until noon at the Community Center in MV.  We're bringing a few potatoes and a few eggs.  Come see us.  The primary reason we go to market this time of year is to visit.  Bring some money because you might decide that you need a good cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll, plus a little bacon and a loaf of bread for home.

The registration form for the 2017 CSA season is attached.  You can find out everything you need to know on the farm's new (temporary address) website, www.abbehills.farm.  Nearly the same CSA as last year, except we've added a CR dropsite on Saturday mornings for the time challenged people.  The rest of you will probably want to come to the farm on Mondays or Thursdays because this is where you'll be able to also pick up eggs, bread, dairy, apples, extra greens, meat sometimes, PYO cherry tomatoes and herbs.  

Remember that your membership in Abbe Hills Farm CSA also gives you a free membership to Local Thyme recipe service, the best bonus of all.  Got a friend who loves to eat but gets intimidated with piles of leafy greens and unfamiliar vegetables - please tell her about Local Thyme.  Might make CSA membership and vegetable cooking more attractive.

Thanks to those of you who have already sent in your registration forms and payments.  I'm finding lots of ways to spend it during this busy time of year!

Abbe Hills Farm Facebook page has a fun little video from New York brainstorming all the different names for CSA.  The one I love the best is not on there, but it's the original name from Japan, where Community Supported Agriculture got it's start - "Food With The Farmer's Face On It."

See you tomorrow,

Laura
