ANNOUNCING THE 2015 CSA

Starting again sometime in May (or at latest, June)––when the garden's are up and running––we're going to begin our next 20 week CSA in Bowling Green, picked up every Tuesday at the Community Farmers Market. As always, there will be a great diversity of food from cucumbers, lettuce, beets, garlic, flowers... hopefully even some honey again this year (fingers crossed!), but almost definitely mushrooms. Really, the list is enormous. It's possible our shareholders could be eating over fifty different types of veggies (God bless our growing region)!So here's the breakdown:The cost is $460 for a single share (feeds a small family and breaks down to $23/wk)A double share is $800 (Feeds a large family––$40/wk)A share gets you a Rough Draft bag for your food and twenty weeks worth of veggies/fruit/etc., and a 10% or more discount on any market items.We are asking all members to pay in full by the beginning of the season––save for those interested who hope to pay with their SNAP benefits (please email us for details on that). We request the money beforehand so we may afford to get the season started––buying mulch, paying market fees, mushroom spawn, seeds, etc..

NATHAN AND MICHELLE.

We have fallen madly in love with our Bowling Green farming community over the last year or so, and two of the leaders of that amazing local food movement are building a commercial kitchen. Michelle and Nathan of Need More Acres are absolutely irrepressible in their devotion to this community and they inspire us dearly. When people like Wendell Berry say "think globally and act locally," these are the people making that a reality. That is why we would like you to join us in helping them––as they helped us when we were in need––in funding their commercial kitchen on their brand new farm.Recognizing that not all consumers who want to support local food can cook all of their own meals, Nathan and Michelle's goal is to help give schools and customers a chance to buy prepared foods made with local ingredients. Of course, to sell prepared foods one must first meet the state and local requirements which is where the commercial kitchen comes into play.This wonderful new site they are using, Kiva Zip, allows you to loan or donate money to projects, and the loans are paid back over time and without interest. Please join us in supporting this amazing couple.- Jesse.
