CSA notes week 7
HI there--
Happy Solstice, happy Summer! I really need to be brief today--but I don't want to go without saying thanks to those of you who could make it out Sunday. Being Father's day, I'm certain there were family events all around, and hopefully everyone had a great weekend where ever you were. The potluck food was the usual, fantastic, and the weather couldn't have been better.
We will have strawberries in your boxes this week. In fact the notes here will be strawberry centric. The berries are certified organic--they will be 2 varieties, honey eye, and another that I cannot remember just now. Honey eyes are the honey of strawberries, smallish and SWEET--I feel we are fortunate to get them. If you pre-ordered a flat(s), I've accumulated these from the email inbox, and there will be a stack of flats with names on them. Please take the flat with your name only--Everyone will be taking home some berries with their shares (Full share=2 Quarts , Half share=1 Quart). Again, if you feel you ordered, and there is no flat with your name on it, please do not take any other than what would be part of your share. Call or email us, and we will do what we can to rectify the miss. 269-427-0423
Even more local, there is an organic fruit farm in Fennville, Kismet Organics--they have U-pick berries now. I don't have contact just in front of me, but they do have a website, and I'm thinking you can find them at LocalHarvest.org. FYI--We do not source our berries here for a few reasons, one being they cannot meet our quantities for shares and sales.
There will be vegetables this week too..heehee-- BUT now, I need to leave to pick up the strawberries, and cannot give them much lip service this week. IF you have questions, or need prep. ideas, or have prep. ideas, pass your inquiries or knowledge along to us--we're happy to share.
Be well everyone!
