Hi Everyone-
I just wanted to remind you all that it's time to sign up for Lucky Moon's CSA if you were thinking about subscribing to the farm this year. We're really hoping to have some new people join us as well as people from previous seasons. So let your friends and neighbors know about some of the great benefits to supporting a local CSA: the excellent quality and freshness of the produce, the chance to support a small, local farm that doesn't use any chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides, and the assurance of knowing exactly where your food came from and how it was grown. Who actually knows how they grow food in Brazil? Are the farmers and workers treated well? What about E-coli? And how much gasoline and refrigeration does it take to get food from California to Central New York? Good things to think about when there is such great produce to be had right in your own backyard (relative to Brazil and California, anyways), where you can see first hand how the food was grown.
The list of produce Sue and Claude are planning on growing this season include: tomatoes (cherry, sauce, salad and sandwich), potatoes, onions, peppers, beans (yellow and green), peas (sugar and snow), lettuce of all kinds, spinach, kale, swiss chard, beets (red and golden) cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, herbs, carrots, shallots, garlic, rhubarb, cucumbers, summer and winter squash, asian greens, bok choy, and more.
The options are either a full or a half share, and you can have it delivered or pick it up yourself. We will be having a pickup location at my house (right in the middle of Manlius) this year, in addition to at the farm in Cazenovia, and the pickup option offers a discount.
The price breakdown is as follows:
Full Share, delivered: $525
Full Share, pickup: $445
Half Share, delivered: $390
Half Share, pickup: $315
These can all be paid in two separate installments, but an initial payment is due pretty soon, by March 31st, if possible.
If you or someone you know is interested, please contact Sue and Claude by calling them at 655-2283, or by emailing me (Sarah VanNorstrand) at luckymoonfm@gmail.com.
We really hope you decide to give subscription farming and Lucky Moon a try- I'm pretty sure you'll find it's a really wonderful way, for multiple reasons, to get food on your table.
