This was the first year of our C.S.A. and in many ways it has been a challenging one (all that rain, the birth of our son in the midst of the season, coordinating with our delivery service). But we are still standing and feeling very positive about the farm, the share, and the variety and quality of produce that we have been able to provide for our customers.
Next season our shares will be available for pickup at 5 different locations (Springfield, Northampton, Amherst, Sunderland (at the farm), and Greenfield), so as to both bring the share closer to our customers and reduce the costs associated with making so many home deliveries. We will not be working with Valley Green Feast in 2010. We will continue to provide the home-delivery service ourselves for an additional fee. Details about the 2010 share and information about how to enroll are now available on the C.S.A. Details page.
We would like to thank all of our members for their support during this first year of our C.S.A. As a thank you to our dedicated members and as an incentive to rejoin for 2010, the first 20 people to sign up by October 31, 2009 will receive a free Kitchen Garden T-Shirt featuring the logo from the box in full-color. Men's shirts are available in mustard yellow and women's in grass green. Sizes run a little on the snug side. Please specify S, M, L, XL.

The 11th Annual North Quabbin Garlic & Arts Festival is this weekend, October 3-4 in Orange, MA. We'll be there both days selling our garlic for planting and eating, along with a full spread of fall vegetables. We'll also be doing a cooking demonstration on Saturday at 2:30 pm. This festival is one of the biggest agricultural and cultural happenings of the year, featuring top notch live music, fine handmade artisan crafts, fantastic garlic cuisine, and even maple cotton candy! See you there!
