Calling All Members

We are calling on all members within earshot of this blog to help plant these next two Saturdays. (5/9 and 5/16) The bad weather is gone and we could really use your help!

Jerry was able to find a small amount of labor and has so far already planted over 50% of the crops. It is getting late however, and now there is some urgency to finish planting or else our season will be pushed back significantly. Nobody wants that! We want to remind everyone that being part of a CSA means that the farmer and consumer UNITE with the common goal of growing the best produce for our bodies. So let's unite at the farm and put this future food in the ground.

Together.

Here's the plan:

Working and non-working members are encouraged to pick a Saturday (May 9th, or May 16th), and pick a time (8am, or 1pm).

Call or e-mail working member Lorna Carnhan: (303) 593-1754 LornaCarnahan@gmail.com

Tell Lorna if you are coming on the 9th or the 16th, and 8am or 1pm, then arrive at your scheduled time.

We've had some difficulty over the last 3 saturdays with weather but the next 2 Saturdays will be beautiful AND conducive to productive planting! IT'S THAT TIME, GUYS! The sun is out, the seeds have sprouted and we need your help to get all of this into the ground and get it growing! So again, call or e-mail Lorna. Let her know your preference of May 9th or 16th, and 8am or 1pm... AND WE'LL SEE YOU ON THE FARM!

Chicken Coop Construction...Wanna Help?

It's been proven throughout history that the more pampered a chicken is, the better the eggs taste! Well okay...maybe not, but at least they are happier chickens.

We wanted to share with you some of the current work being done out at the farm. These photos depict the fun time to be had by all, building new chicken coops.

So, check it out:

If you'd like to participate in the fun please contact Duane Taylor at 303-506-3419 or email him at: Duane@DuaneTaylor.com

Thanks for the kind words...

The consensus is in:

The e-newsletter is a newly-loved, much anticipated part of the Farm! A special 'thank you' to all who participated and contributed to that project. And another thank you to all of you who sent sweet emails thanking us for putting this together for you. You are welcome. We want you to know that we hear you loud and clear. We also want to thank you for your patience through the initial trials of setting up the newsletter process. It's new to us and we're learning along the way.

In other news, some quick reminders:

Don't forget to call Working Member Lorna Carnahan at 303-593-1754 or lornacarnahan@gmail.com if you want to RSVP for planting new strawberry/onion crops on either April 11th/ or April 18th (or both).

Also, if you're interested in a working membership (and share discount) on newly opened SATURDAYS don't forget to call Jacquie at the Farm: 970-284-7941.
