Harvesting Commences This Week!

For our early season subscribers Rosemattel's begins the harvesting for 2010 shares today! This CSA is closed for any new subscribers for regular season. Please stay in touch if you may be interested in the Fall/Winter offerings. We will have a better idea of this option the closer we gets to mid summer.
Depending on when subscribers signed up determined if they were starting this week or the following if they chose a half share which is a full share picked up every other week. We have to spread out the half shares so that we are not overharvesting one week and then find ourselves with a void in the following week's harvest. It helps balance the crop production out evenly.

Remember: The Barberton Grange is Mondays 430-530, farm on Tuesdays after 1pm and the BG Farmers Market on Saturdays 9-3.

22 Week Subscriptions:
We had to delay the 22 week subscriptions due to the crazy weather til this week and will begin today.

Corporate Subscribers:
Our shared corporate CSA customers begin this Wednesday as we work with Hunters Greens to eagerly meet their veggie needs.

17 week Subscriptions:
17 week subscribers begin pick up

15 week Subscriptions:
In two more weeks!

Please call my cel at 241-1278 if you have any questions!! I have sent out emails over the last week to remind 22 week and 17 week subscribers of when they begin their pick up. I will email the 15 week subscribers by the beginning of next week.

Please remember that if you have missed your pick up, the veggies cannot be re-harvested. We will donate it to the local Share House Women's shelter if you do not pick up your veggies. We do not have a way to store your share for another day or time so please if you cannot make it at least send a friend to pick up for you!

Normally I do not do weekly newsletters as we get in to the busy season of harvesting but will update this blog as we go along at least monthly if not more often :)

Till then,
See you soon!
