Greetings from
Heavens Harvest Farm
It was a confirmation this past week of what we already
knew and experienced, when our
Governor declared a state of emergency for Massachusetts vegetable farmers.
Although the fall apple crop looks to be excellent, along with some
late season corn, fellow farmers especially organic growers stand to lose
millions this year.
We would respectfully ask all of you who have not yet
considered the fall share to do so as a way to continue the most necessary
partnership with local, sustainable and organic agriculture.
We are extremely grateful for all of our subscribers. Let
us answer several requests for information thru this forum as a way to answer
all.
First, the list for fall vegetables can be found as part
of the July 27th newsletter.
The sign-up sheet is to be found on the site at the home page by
clicking on the right side of the page where it says news items. When the next page loads, click on the left
side of the page where it speaks about the fall shares on either blue
highlighted word. They are the words here
or CSAFORM.
Several members have expressed concern over the lettuce
turning too quickly. We are at fault
because it was packaged in a non-breathable plastic bag and then the packer
twisted the bag shut. The lettuce was
only 1 day old – our packing caused the problem. Thanks to all who have emailed their
concerns and positive comments.
Please pass the information regarding our fall shares to your
influence circles. We are in need of
another 100 members, please help.
Also, remember to check the recipe sections each week for
great nutritional, mouth-watering ways to incorporate the farms bounty into
dishes your whole family will love.
Blessings
-Ashley & Ethel
