Good Eats Summer CSA - Early Bird Special ends April 1
We can't wait to begin delivering Good Eats shares again in June! It feels like it has been forever since the Fall/Winter share ended prematurely with the barn fire and the last delivery. We all miss the weekly cycle of farm life geared around growing and harvesting for Good Eats and can't wait to be back on track. We are well on our way with greenhouses being planted and flats of field crop transplants everywhere. Once the snow melts we'll be planting the fields and by June the harvests will be ready for you. Will you join us?

Good Eats Spring Share will not happen this year
We made the tough decision last week. We will NOT have a spring share this year. It's been so hard to come to this conclusion since we know so many of you are missing the shares and looking forward to deliveries starting up again. But we are committed to two things right now: building a really well constructed, well planned, and efficient building that will serve us well in years to come; and planning and planting for the best harvests we have ever had.
A Spring share would require developing interim washing & packing spaces and having coolers enough for the CSA. We'd have to commit time and resources to develop these, as well as committing the weekly resources required to run the CSA (harvesting, packing, delivering, administration). We have decided that it's smarter to focus on construction and being really prepared and geared up for the start of the Summer share June 22nd.
