Farmer’s Note — Week 10

Dear CSA Member

A special note this week about our Fall Farm Festival. Please mark your calendars, we hope you will be able to attend. The Fall Farm Festival is September 7, 2013 from 11:30-3. Please use the 145 Garcia Lane, Leeds, NY 12451 address. Come and meet your farmers, walk the fields where your vegetables are grown. Bring a dish to share and your own place setting. The farm will provide a barbecue, roast corn and portobello mushrooms, vegetarian chili, fresh fruit and coffee. Thank you to Paradise to Go, for preparing the barbecue and chili.

There will be wagon rides, walks around the farm, freshly dug carrots to pick from the field to take home, help build a scarecrow, pick a bouquet of flowers. If you would like to take flowers home, please bring your own scissors and something that will keep the flowers until you get home. Wet paper towels or newspapers in a plastic bag will usually do the trick.

Other local farms and businesses will be in attendance and have products for sale. Heather Ridge Farm will have fiber items, socks from their own flock of Dorset & Icelandic sheep and llama wool and beeswax candles, www.Heather-ridge-farm.com or https://www.facebook.com/pages/Heather-Ridge-Farm.”
