Stanton Street CSA

We have veggies delivered weekly to garden through Stanton Street CSA. The vegetables come from Ted Blomgren at Windflower Farm. There are a limited number of spaces available. Here are the details:

On Sunday, April 27th, at 1:30pm, join us for Ted's talk at the garden. Rain or shine; dress accordingly.
We will have enrollment forms on hand. If you bring a check, you can stay after the meeting, complete your form, hand over your check, and be immediately enrolled!

You also have the option of taking the enrollment form home and mailing it in at your leisure OR if you can't make it to the meeting, you may simply download it from the Stanton Street CSA link on the right column of this page. They will be taking members on a first come first serve basis, and once we're filled up they'll start a waiting list.

This summer, as in the past, we'll be offering shares of fruit, eggs, and flowers. Nancy and Allen will also be offering their "extras" once a month, so you can order as many meats, cheeses, jams, breads, etc. online as you wish (If you are only interested in this option, you will still need to pay the $25 administration fee).
