- we look forward to meeting
you! We have started a
waiting list for 2011.

February 27
We have never - literally never -
seen so much snow at one
time (and Rachel is from
Wisconsin!). It snowed here
without a break from Tuesday
afternoon until Saturday. we
can't even measure it
accurately because it's packed
down, but we estimate about
4 1/2 feet!

February 21
We just returned from a
long-awaited family vacation to
Costa Rica - what a treat!
Temps in the 80s, banana trees
and Caribbean beaches were
wonderful - but we are also
glad to return to our own
home sweet home.

February 2
Happy Groundhog Day! Around
here, we don't need a large
rodent to tell us whether there
will be 6 more weeks of winter.
The question is, will winter
ONLY by 6 more weeks?

January 30
The midwinter meeting is over
and now all our seeds are

plan the upcoming season.
Now let's start to pray for good
weather this summer.

Today is the deadline for
returning members to renew
their shares. 36 of our 50

Our CSA calendar has been
updated for 2010. The first
Farm Day is our Midwinter
Meeting on Saturday January

Membership renewals are
coming in steadily. We're
pleased that most of you are
joining us in the new work
commitment. If you haven't
sent your renewal in yet, be
sure to submit by January 23rd

A light snow is falling and winter
is here! We will be sending out
share information within the
next day or two.

Our final CSA delivery for the
