Greetings all and a belated Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm writing tonight to give a couple of updates from the farm starting with the opening of CSA shares for 2025!

Shares are now on sale on our website or via the link below. As I wrote in the last newsletter, we'll have a different season structure than usual this year. Shares will start the first week of July -- on Wednesday, July 2nd -- and run for 20 weeks, ending on November 12th. Instead of a separate summer and fall share, we are offering a single season 20-week Full Share or 10-week Flex Share. With the 10-week share you can choose any 10 weeks out of the year to pick up your share. PLEASE NOTE: Delivery shares are distributed on an every other week schedule.

Early signups are incredibly helpful for the farm, so if you are able to sign up early this year, we would really appreciate it. The changes we made to the share schedule were to manage our workload in the spring and be prepared to offer the best CSA share possible through the summer. We are opening shares earlier than usual with that in mind. Office work and bookkeeping make up a lot of the working time on the farm. Having the CSA squared away early in the year concentrates that work to the winter time when there is less to do in the fields.

Second thing I wanted to mention is our farmers' market schedule. We'll be at Cheshire Medical Center on Thursday 12/5 and Thursday 12/12 from 10am-2pm this month before taking a break for the holidays. This week we will have:

▪Spinach

▪Microgreens

▪Chard

▪Kale

▪Picadilly Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, and Butternut Sq.

▪Onions

▪Broccoli

▪Brussel Sprouts

▪Head Lettuce

▪Carrots

▪Beets

▪Elephant Rock Farm Eggs

▪Orchard Hill Bread

▪and more!

Last thing for the night is a huge THANK YOU to everyone that wrote a review for our farm after the last newsletter. It really means so much to Rachel, Joe, and I to hear how y'all appreciate our produce. Truly warms the heart. Thank you.
