September Trial CSA
Waverly and I put up flyers yesterday advertising our September CSA. We are thinking about doing a full season CSA next summer, and my friend and co-worker Steph wisely suggested that we try it out this fall. To see how it works out before we take on doing one for a whole season. Thanks Steph!! (For more information about what a CSA is, why it is important, and how to find one near you, check out this link.)
We had been thinking of doing a CSA, then, last week, the strangest thing happened. Peter and I were at the farmer's market in Danville talking about whether we should do it or not, what we should charge, etc., and this person walks up and out of the blue asks, had we ever thought about doing a CSA. That clinched it for me!!
Anyway, this is the text of the flyer. It is on a half page (landscape) gold (yellow-orange -- not metallic) paper. I even got the logo to print green. It looks great. Hopefully we'll get some interest!
September Trial CSA
Get quality organic veggies this fall while checking out a creative way to buy local! Sign up for the Old Shaw Farm trial CSA!!
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Each Wednesday morning, you will get a box full of everything that’s in season. In September that probably means tomatoes (until the first frost), greens, beets, winter squash, radishes, mesclun mix and more. You can pick up at our farm in South Peacham or at the Danville Farmer’s Market. For $75, you get five weeks of fresh, organic veggies. All fresh from the farm to you!!
Old Shaw Farm is a certified organic farm in South Peacham. Peter, Maryellen and Waverly (the baby) Griffin do the growing. For more information about us and our farm, check out our blog at www.oldshawfarm.com
We are doing the September CSA as a trial for us and for you. If it works out, we hope to offer a full season CSA next year. Whether you are interested in the September CSA or next year’s CSA, we’d love to hear from you. You can call us at 592-3349 or email us at maryellen@oldshawfarm
Good eating to you!!
