CSA News March 3rd, 2010


Its been about a month since I let you all know what's coming in the new season for the CSA Program and here is the latest:

"SO" has completed cleaning up and preparing the garden and I have the roto tiller ready to go. Just about every window sill is loaded with potted plants. She trying to talk me into building a new greenhouse just for starting plants. I hope I can find time and funds to do it for her as I am already having trouble keeping her away from seed displays at the stores. Also, we made an application for a special program of the USDA for organic farmers to get a large 30 x 70 ft Hoop House.

Announcement:

On the afternoon of March 20th, from 12:30 - 4:30, there will be a CSA - Open House again at the Community Building lobby, 35 W. Main. That's right across from the new Main Market Coop Store. If you know anyone who wants to check out the 'ins' and 'outs' of CSA programs please let them know. If you have any questions or comments for the coming season please come by to visit us. We plan to open up for more new members at this event and the details of the 'Meat CSA' will also be in print and on the web site by this time. We will also have a display of an actual sample Meat CSA delivery.

So far we have been holding spaces open for last year's members and 17 have asked to join up with us again this year. Twelve have already sent in the Membership Form and sign up fee. We hope to get confirmation from the rest by March 20th! We're really grateful and thrilled with this support.

If you wish to sign up please visit our site at http://www.rockyridgeranchspokane.com/contact_order.php and download the CSA order form. Also please mark on the form that you were referred by the blog.

We look forward to seeing you all!!!!
