Happy New Year and Renew Now for 2019!

Renew your Appleton Farms CSA membership today! The recent mild weather and bare fields have us dreaming of spring! But we’re happy to be spending a few weeks in the office planning out the next growing season. While we’ve been perusing seed catalogs and tweaking the crop plan, our creative juices have been flowing and there’s a growing excitement for the year to come. I think we have a couple welcome surprises in store for our CSA members for next season! And a reminder to current members: CSA renewals for the 2019 season are open, and we are offering new payment plan options this year to help spread out the cost. **We will open signups to the waiting list on February 1 and we cannot longer guarantee your spot for 2019 if you do not sign up by that date. To renew your CSA, please start here with your Trustees membership.  If your Trustees membership is current, contact us at appletonfarmscsa@thetrustees.org and we will send a link for renewal to our current CSA members. We are looking forward to next season and we hope you are too! - Andrew & Leah

Seed catalogs are here!

An update from the Appleton Farms store: Fresh milk is back at the farm store!  We apologize for the hiatus over the past 2 weeks. We had unforeseen equipment failures & repairs were delayed by the holidays. We were only able to bottle 160 gallons this week, but next week we expect to bottle 250 gallons of milk. Please feel free to call the store anytime to confirm availability – we know the driveway can be rough this time of year.  We have just graded the road to ease your journey. If you haven’t been in the store in a while, be sure to check out our new, local products.  We are happy to welcome: Beckah's Bangin Butter  (small batch paleo almond butter made in Beverly, MA); Ariel’s Honey Infusions (raw Vermont honey infused with organic herbs made in  Waitsfield, Vermont); & Little Acre Gourmet Ketchup (gourmet condiments made in Dover, NH).  Plus, I am waiting on a fresh batch of Baer’s Best Beans (locally grown & hand-picked beans from South Hamilton, MA – organic varieties, rare heirlooms, and yummy soup mixes!) 20% off select Trustees products (Pickles, pickled beets, tomato puree, frozen pesto, meat & jerky) Join our  frequent milk-er program! Earn a stamp for each milk purchase (1 stamp per visit) and get a free 1/2 gallon of milk on your 13th visit. Meet our cow of the month in person.  We encourage visitors to stop by the dairy barn any time and chat with the staff.  We milk the cows at 4 am and 4 pm daily and welcome visitors to see the dairy team in action as well as ask questions.   Thank you for shopping at Appleton Farms. Hope to see you back at the farm this week.  Best wishes, Staci Zarimba Store Manager
