Abbe Hills Farm CSA

Greetings shareholders and friends of Abbe Hills Farm,

Market tomorrow morning, 10:00 until noon at the Community Center in Mt. Vernon.  We’re going to stay home, but I expect there will be coffee, bakery, meat, and eggs from the other vendors.  If you’re feeling the need to get some sunshine (basically, except for the vampires, that would be all of us)  it should be a good morning to take a walk,  get a cup of coffee, and see what’s going on uptown.

We’ll be home tomorrow sorting through about three tons of seed potatoes that are being delivered this afternoon.  I’ve had so much fun getting to know seed potato farmers in Langlade County in northern Wisconsin.  My dad and I like to go every spring to pick up the seed, but the order has become bigger than my trailer, so this year it was easier to have SpeeDee take care of it.  Thankfully, only 2000 pounds of the seed we’re getting is for me to plant and the rest are for area farmers who share the order with us.  Now it’s time to get the field ready – which looks like it’s not going to be very soon.  Sheesh, we have had quite a lot of rain and cold.  Some warm and sun for a few days in a row would be great now.

Thank you so much for all of your registrations for the CSA this summer.  I appreciate your confidence in me more than you can know.  We’re about halfway full, and I’m still looking for places to post a poster, hand out a handout, or talk a talk.  Day cares, yoga studios, churches, big businesses, small businesses, chiropractor offices, schools – anyplace there are people who care about eating well might be a good place to let people know about Abbe Hills Farm CSA.  If you’ve got an idea, I’m happy to hear it.

If you have one, please do your happy sunshine dance today.  We’re all counting on you (except the vampires). 

Laura
