From our farmers, Deb and Pete
2007 SeasonDear CSA Member:
Hello Everyone-The winter's rest is over and we are up and running again. We are ready to get going and the first plants are already started. A few new items to let everyone know about for the upcoming season.We purchased a new larger delivery truck so we can comfortably transport our vegetable and as many fruit shares as members would like to order. In the past we were really restricted by the size of the truck and the new truck should take care of that concern. Our old truck broke down twice last season and caused a lot of anxious moments and last minute rushing around to deliver the shares on time. Getting too old for all that commotion and excitement!
We received a grant from the Watershed Agriculture Council, Pure Catskills campaign to help offset the costs of the 2007 Farm Visit. We are really excited to be able to host the Farm Visit again this summer. The date will be the 8th of September. If you have anything you would like to comment about, add or just give me suggestions, please let me know. We hope to invite more local farmers to attend and utilize more local agricultural products for the lunch. I thought last summers visit was wonderful, but sure learned a lot about hosting such a large event.
Again, welcome to 2007 Deb and Pete
Nicole and Danielle, Core Members

Update from Stoneledge Farm, November 15, 2006
"Our CSA season is quickly coming to an end. Next week will be the last delivery. The exceptionally warm weather has made for an enjoyable November harvest. The rains have been relentless though, and even with our best effort to clean them, some of the vegetables carry more soil than we would like to your homes from ours."
"I encourage you to pick up a brochure for 2007 and return it to the site to reserve your membership share for next season. There has been an amazing awakening of the benefit of regional agricultural products to our health, environment and economy and CSA is growing stronger every year. We are ever thankful to be part of the sustainable agriculture community as each CSA member is also an equal partner. Yet another concept from the Terra Madre gathering: "co-producer", formerly known as consumer. Enjoy the vegetables-Pete and Deb"
