Abbe Hills Farm CSA

Greetings shareholders and friends of Abbe Hills Farm,

Market tomorrow morning at the Community Center in Mt. Vernon, 10:00 until noon.  We're sending a few eggs and potatoes while we go to a big farm auction near Coggon.  Still looking for the perfect piece of junk!

You can also pick up a registration form for this summer's CSA season at our market table, or use the attachment below.  Family size shares are the same price as last year -$500 - I think a pretty good bargain.   Like always, you will be able to pick up your veggies at the farm on Monday or Thursday afternoons.  You'll also be able to buy bread, dairy, apples, maybe meat, and pick your own cherry tomatoes and herbs.

Additionally, we're also planning to do a delivery to Noelridge Christian Church in northeast Cedar Rapids on Saturday mornings, 8:00 to 9:00.  If you're a CR or Marion person, and you have neighbors who might like to join a CSA but don't have time to drive to MV, please tell them about Abbe Hills.  Everything they need to know is at the farm website, with regular updates at our Facebook page. I need 50 shares to make delivery to CR financially sustainable, so it's time to start hopping!

I'm ordering seeds this week, replenishing the seed stash and trying a few new things (broccolini seems to be the happening new vegetable).  I'm up to about $2000 so far this morning and not quite finished.  It's both scary and exciting to think about planting, weeding, and harvesting all the food that will come from so many seeds.  Help me sleep at night - send me a friend who wants to get in on the good stuff!

Thank you to everybody who has registered.  None of this could happen without your unfailing support and encouragement.  You inspire me.
