Weekly News for Aliabaad Farm September 2, 2014

Week of September 2, 2014

Weekly News

• It’s hard to believe that September is already here.
• Our pumpkins are ready for harvesting and final transplanting with the exception of lettuce has been completed and I hope with the few days of 90 degree heat and few rain showers they will be strong enough to resist the 48 degree morning temperature.
• 2015 CSA registration- Early bird registration begins November 16 and ends December 31. I will e-mail the details and payment plans at the end of 2014 CSA season.
• Beef shares: Thanks to those who already made their payment. We ask those who are interest to please send your payment so we know how many shares left in our inventory. Please note one of our CSA members is looking to share ¼ beef; please let me know if you are interested to share ¼ of beef with her.
