First CSA participant!!
We got our first signup for the CSA today!!! Woohoo!! And two other folks who've expressed strong interest.
I've always thought that I do not have the risk tolerance or equanimity it would take to run a small farm business. However, I have really gotten excited about the CSA idea. Maybe too excited. See what I mean about lack of equanimity!
I can see that it is going to take some figuring to find a way to operate the CSA that will work for us and for participants. Like, should we give participants farm tours or will it turn them off to see the weeds and "work in progress" parts of the farm? I rather think folks who want to be in a CSA will like seeing the farm, warts and all, but it's an interesting question. Anyway, I'm not ready to quit my day job yet, but I am enjoying day three of this new farm enterprise!

That is fantastic!
Congratulations!
First day and one sale. So at one a day times 365 days in a year. Hey, this mounts up!!
As I may have told you, I can still remember posting on the wall a copy of the first check that came into Fund World from Putnam.
Good for you!
