Preview of 2012 CSA
YES! We will again offer our unique, multifarm CSA in 2012. Check back here for details as we finalize plans for another great season of CSA. SIGN -UPS start Feb 1! When you join our General Mailing List you will be sure to receive the latest updates and announcements regarding CSA pick up locations, pricing, and sign ups for 2012.
LATEST UPDATES: ( 1/21/12)
CSA will run 20 weeks: June 13th - Oct 24th.
We will offer 50 CSA shares with Wednesday afternoon pick ups in these locations:
Slippery Rock Grove City Franklin
We do not anticipate a price increase, as we are going back to 20 weeks, rather than 22 weeks.
We will not offer Spring Shares, add-on Cheese and Mushroom Shares, or Fresh Chicken Shares. (Fresh and frozen chickens will be vailable in our Summer Webstore-- all CSA members can access the webstore)
We also thank you for your feedback—the good and the not so good-- as it helps us to do a better job of providing you with what you really want. (which is our goal) So, based on what you have told us so far, the Board is actively addressing the following for 2012:
** consistently including the most popular vegetables in all shares, Large and Small alike.
( weekly lettuce, carrots, green beans, tomatoes in season. Especially lettuce.)
** no mustard, please! Ok, we heard that. No mustard unless you want mustard.
** where’s the cilantro? We heard that too, and will pointedly grow lots more.
** Large Shares will once again receive 2 Choice Items per week.
** The Exchange Box will be more visible at all drop-offs.
** Farmers will be scheduled to visit all drop-offs regularly for Meet and Greet.
** At least one Farmer-Grower Event will take place at one of the farms. Maybe more.
** We will question members at sign-up as to which vegetables, herbs, you love and which you do not. We will also ask (again) for comments and suggestions for improvement.
