Greetings!

Welcome to week 8 of our 2018 Summer CSA Program!


Pick up is at Woodbury Floral Designs-
15 Hollow Rd., Woodbury CT. Pick up time is 1:00pm-6:00pm on Tuesday. If you can not make it in time to pick up, please notify us at 203.266.9149 so we can make other arrangements.
ALL baskets not picked up on your pick up day will be donated to the Woodbury Food Bank.


PLEASE bring back the empty basket from last week in exchange for another full one. We are trying to keep a closer eye on the baskets this year as the expense of them really adds up.

If there is anything in your basket you or your family doesn't eat, we do offer a swap table where you can exchange 1 item for another- if it is in the swap table.

We like to thank all our members by offering a 10% discount on anything in the shop! Whether it's more produce, our farm raised meat, sauce, syrup, spices, or flowers and gifts- it's our way of showing you our appreciation for your patronage.


Farm Fresh News
It may be summer still, but we are deep into the planning stages of the Fall/Winter CSA program. Enjoying the summer session? Then let our family feed yours for the rest of the year!
Our fall/winter program begins immediately after the summer program ends.

Your support of our program is allowing our family to do BIG things this year. I can't quite tell you what that it yet... but it will be a game changer for our family farm and our community.

Safer Skincare starts here
Being CSA Members, you already know the importance of eating healthy and knowing how your food was raised. How about the products your use on your body? The average woman uses 12 personal care products every day- potentially containing hazardous ingredients that US allows to be there. Did you know preservatives in your shampoo can release formaldehyde- or the carbon black- found in mascara has been linked to a wide array of health effects. Come have a glass of wine and see why I am so passionate about sharing this safer company with everyone.

Swisschard

Care for this weeks ingredients:


Squash and Red Cabbage: Store in fridge- best if squash is used within 3 days, will last 5-7 in crisper. Cabbage will last 2-3 weeks or longer in the crisper

Tomatoes: DO NOT REFRIGERATE. If you would like them riper, simply leave them on a windowsill, otherwise leave them on your kitchen counter. Will last up to a week, depending on ripeness.

Swisschard: Wash or at least rinse upon returning home. Wrap in dish towel and store in the fridge. Best if used with in 3 days.

Onions: The candy onions are called this for just the reason you think- because they are sweet. Store in crisper, they have not quite grown a paper wrapper yet to be kept in storage.

Corn: Store in fridge- use as soon as possible for optimum freshness. Picked corn starts loosing it's sugar content almost immediately.


Thank you for your support of our Farm. We are excited to begin a new season and glad you're along to watch how we GROW
