News about Saturday's Welcome and Orientation
We can't wait to see you on Saturday at our 2016 Welcome and Orientation event. The barn is finally cleaned up and ready to welcome you back!
Thank you to the many shareholders who have signed up using our Sign Up Genius. If you haven't signed up and would like to do so now, please follow this link: Appleton Farms CSA Shareholder Orientation We have added additional spots for each session at 9am, 10am, and 11am. Parking will be tight and remember to drive slowly on the farm roads.
We will begin each 1 hour session by splitting into two groups- one group will head off to pick their first few strawberries via the new entrance to the pick-your-own fields with Assistant CSA Manager Leah, while the other half of the group will get an orientation and welcome with CSA Manager Ryan. Our friends from Boston Area Gleaners will be here to let you know about volunteer opportunities in the fields and there will be farm staff on hand to answer questions about programs & events, farm camp, CSA billing, and anything else you'd like to know.
All morning, Sandy, our Farm Store Manager, will be offering samples of our new ice cream flavors from Honeycomb Creamery while Kristian, our Cheese Maker, will be sampling out his new Appleton cheeses. Mojo, Terra Cotta Pasta Company, Dancing Goats Dairy, Lark Cookies, and Pozup popcorn will also be at the farm from 9am-12pm offering samples and welcoming you back with tasty treats.
For those who can not make it this Saturday, we would be happy to orient you on your first share pick up day. The share season opens on Monday, June 13th.
