Week 18
We have really been enjoying the beautiful fall weather this
week and it seems that our cover crops have as well. It is amazing how quickly a field can go from
bare soil to a thick carpet of green given the right conditions, doubly so when
that carpet of green is actually something that we planted on purpose.
Before getting into the new business of the week I am
compelled to rehash (or possibly re-rehash) a little old business. First I want to encourage anyone interested
in getting a Thanksgiving share to get your orders in as soon as possible. This is especially important if you are
interested in purchasing cranberries or pies at the discounted rate offered
through the Thanksgiving share. I need
to put cranberry and pie orders in by the end of this week so please get those
orders in by Friday afternoon if you can.
Cranberries and pies will be available in the dairy store after the
orders close but they will only be available at the retail price.
The second bit of old business is the CSA Potluck Harvest Dinner coming up THIS SUNDAY AT 4PM!!! This
is the only CSA event of the season and we need you there to make it a great
success. Come for the lawn games, live
entertainment and the great food. Bring
an apple pie made with grandma’s secret recipe or your Aunt Cheryl’s famous 7
layer casserole. B.YO.B and lets see
this season out in style!
As for the new business around here, we will be opening CSA
share renewals later this week! We will
be emailing all of our current CSA members with a link to the new and improved
CSA renewal page. You will be able to
renew online with your credit card in the comfort of your home or you will also have the option to
renew securely on an Ipad locaated in the share room. Share renewals will run through December 31st
at which point we will begin making share offers to our waitlist. It is important to note that if you choose
the option to put a $325.00 deposit down on your share the remaining balance of $325.00 will automatically be billed to your
credit card three months after your initial deposit. If you have any questions or concerns
about the CSA renewal process please contact Susan Ferreira at appletonfarmsCSA@thetrustees.org
and she will be able to assist you.
