On the Farm:
This week we are thrilled to include fall carrots from Picadilly Farm with our share. Picadilly was founded and is run by Jenny
Hausman and Bruce Wooster. If you have
been an Appleton Farms Shareholder for more than ten years those names should
sound very familiar to you since Jenny and Bruce were the very first managers
of the Appleton Farms CSA. Now that
Jenny and Bruce have moved on to running their own business in Southern NH, we
are working with them to supply us with carrots this fall. Just as with the potatoes from Heron Pond,
carrots will be carefully doled out each week from now until (hopefully) the
very end of the CSA season.
Carrots and potatoes
will also be a prominent part of the Thanksgiving share which we will begin
offering this week. Thanks to feed back we
received after last years Thanksgiving share we are tweaking the share composition
a bit this year. First we are increasing
the size by 10lbs to accommodate a greater variety of fresh produce without
cutting into those reliable storage crops.
This increases the Thanksgiving share price slightly but the price per
pound remains the same as it has been since we began offering the Thanksgiving
share. In response to those who want a greater
degree of free choice from their Thanksgiving share we will be adding the
option to take a partially pre-made box and fill out the remainder of the share
in a similar fashion to our main season share.
We hope that these small but significant changes will continue to improve
our all ready great Thanksgiving share.
The Thanksgiving share pickup day will be held on Friday
November 20th this year from 2pm-4pm. Make sure to sign up early to reserve your spot.
