Save the Dates! Family Farm Day, Farm Dinners, CSA Potluck, and Grazing the North Shore

Greetings CSA Shareholders,


The Education team is gearing up for a very busy fall! 


We hope to see all of you at Family Farm Day on Sunday, September 20th.  This is our most exciting and important event of the year.  Why? For one, we get to show off this beautiful working farm to hundreds of families who have never experienced Appleton before PLUS the proceeds from the event are critical financial support for the line-up of fall school trips that we will offer in September and October. 


Our weekly programs for children and families are still going strong.  If you haven't already, we hope you will bring the kids for Little Farmers in the Fields, Families in the Farm Kitchen: Homemade Applesauce and Apple Chips, or Fun in the Farmyard soon.  Tis' the season!


We have a Saturday Supper coming up on September 12th that still has space but will fill quickly so register soon!  We will be adding a more formal dinner to our October schedule and a family dinner in November. 


Also...the CSA Harvest Potluck will take place on Sunday, October 18th. Save the date for this annual tradition where our shareholders break bread with our farmers and celebrate the 2015 season. Live music, great recipes, and a beautiful evening in the Carriage Barn. 


Lastly, we are going to celebrate National Food Day on October 24th with a brand new culinary tasting event called "Grazing the North Shore".  Send along your suggestions for your favorite local-food-focused chefs, catering companies, and North Shore food producers as this event will highlight the area's most seasonally-focused food and beverage crafters.  We are looking forward to promoting our friends and partners who support local farms and fisheries on their menus every day by hosting them here at Appleton Farms.  More details and ticket sales coming soon.  Email appletoncooks@ttor.org with suggestions or for more information.


See you on the farm,


Beth, Kathryn, Caroline and Ashley
