FARM STAND CLOSES for 2008

Well that's all, folks. The garden is slowing down and my priority is to make sure the CSA members have lots of fresh eating so the stand is closed for the season.

AND I have decided to skip the Farm Stand next year and focus on the CSA. New next year will be a MINI-SHARE, just 2 items each week for smaller households and busy folks who still want a little bit of fresh local produce in their lives.

For more information on the CSA you may email me (laurat-at-crocker-dot-com) or check the CSA part of the blog. I expect to post information about 2009 in January or February. Right now you can see posts that describe the weekly shares.

Thanks for supporting the farm stand. It's been fun to share the bounty with you.

TODAY'S PICKINGS - SEPTEMBER 20, 2008

LAST WEEKEND!

This weekend is the last one the stand will be open. It’s been a fun season, although sales at the stand have been rather low. The farm stand will NOT be open in 2009. Instead, you might enjoy a “MINI SHARE” - just 2 fresh vegetables each week to enliven your eating.

For more infomation, email me at laurat-at-crocker-dot-com

Thanks for your support!
I am home all day Saturday. I am happy to pick you some fresh greens.

Sorry about being closed yesterday.
I was ill. Thanks for your understanding.

*I am posting this late just as a record of the stand. Thanks to those who came by both Saturday and Sunday. I guess one thing about being a one person operation is that occasionally illness will bring the whole operation to a halt. On the other hand, being small means being more human and personal in other ways too. I got several cheering wishes for recovery when I wrote to let folks know I couldn't stock the stand on Saturday. Thanks, friends.
