Hello,
Congratulations! Together we made it through another season. We learned, we connected, we lost, we ate….we grew. We grew as farmers, employees, customers, volunteers, vendors, and friends. We grew as a community, and I believe we are better for it. We celebrated the joy of local food. We held each other when it was hard. We shared when others were in need. AND (one of my favorite things about the CSA community) if things went awry, we all lost a little so that no one had to lose a lot. We showed up in all the ways that grow and support a community.
I felt this more this year than ever before. From conversations with people that came to the farm for the plant sale or a pop-up market, to hugs from kids that were picking up csa boxes with their parents, to meeting new folks that visited our place at events like the Farm Crawl or Plein Air Painting. I realized how many folks I knew on a first name basis, both CSA members and market customers. I was humbled when folks offered baked goods, thank you gifts, or tips. I was delighted when people proudly brought friends to the farm to meet their farmer. I was thrilled when folks came out to volunteer. As the farm found more and more ways to connect and give to this community, it showed up more and more for us. Our programs fill faster every year and more and more people come back as repeat members. My heart is overwhelmed with gratitude. Please know your support grew more than just food.
We cannot send you a big enough THANK YOU. The work that we do here at the farm is heart work, driven by passion and strong values. The only way that we can do it, is with your support. When you signed up you said, I support this work. I believe it will help create change. I want myself, my kids, and community to have access to sustainably produced local food. You are why we can do this work and serve this community. THANK YOU!
If you signed up for Winter CSA, we will be reaching out soon. The program is technically full, but if you sign up by the end of today (Sunday), we can sneak you in.
Thank you again,

HACKS AND ORDERING TRICKS:
- If the product selection is not display in organized groups, you are likely in the “Previously Ordered” section. Scroll down to all products and it will be easier to navigate. You can always X out these items each week to keep this section manageable.
- If products have a locked sign on them, you likely need to change your pick-up location. Click on the lock to see where this item is available.
- If you cannot see products, contact the farm.
- As a member with credits, when you place your order, FarmMatch will tell you it is going to charge your credit card, because that is what it is programmed to do, as most farms are not issuing credits at the beginning of the season like we are. They are just selling outright to their customers. The program will apply your credits first, making your total due $0. So, your card will get charged $0 each week, up until you have used up all your credits.
