Greetings!
If you’re a vegan/vegetarian, consider emailing this to your meat eating friends & family.
If you do eat meat, read on, and also consider forwarding this to potentially interested friends and family to support our other local farmer at the CSA, Jay Dines of Dines Farm.
Pre-ordering makes sure that when you show up at the CSA this week, Dines Farm hasn’t run out of what you want.
ALSO, if you want larger quantities of something PLEASE pre-order as one person can deprive everyone else of Hot Dogs, Ribs, Hamburgers, etc for the week (it’s been happening lately).
If you’ve never seen it, or it’s been a while, here’s the NY Times article about their Hot Dogs…
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/05/dining/05dog.html
TO PRE-ORDER FOR DINES FARM…
Please email your order by 12pm, noon, Tuesday, December 1st.. Allow more time for special requests.
Email your order to: dinesfarms@gmail.com

Otherwise the farm won't know WHO placed the order, WHERE TO CALL in case you're running late or haven't shown up (it happens...people forget) and WHERE the order should end up.
You should get a confirmation email. If you don't, call Larry to check on your order (914-403-5828). Also, call Larry if you have any questions or need help placing your order.
Payment is made when you pick up your order this week. Acceptable for payment are cash, a check, or a debit/credit card.

November 13, 2009
Our harvest season is coming to a close with only a few delivery weeks left. We still are picking many types of roots – Winter Radishes, Turnips, Rutabagas, Beets, Carrots and Celery Root. Our cold hard greens are still producing as well – Kales, Collards, Asian “Choi”s & “Soi”’s and Mizuna & Mibuna, and Radicchio. Our Cabbages are just reading maturity – Red, Green and Savoy. Broccoli and Cauliflower are still happening as well. We also still have many more Sweet Potatoes to bring in over the next several weeks – these store well outside of your refrigerator – for several months! So, as we arrive at Thanksgiving, we on the farm have much to be thankful for – much variety and abundance over our growing season, and many CSA supporters who encourage us and keep our farm growing. We appreciate all of you!
Thanks for all you do for us, in keeping us going!
Organically yours,
Farmer Bill (Halsey)

November 1, 2009
November is here and we're down to our last bunch of weeks of the 2009 season. We still have lots left to bring in to all of our CSA shareholders. Sweet Potatoes have been a plentiful crop, so expect those several times. We raise five types of Kale so those, plus Collard Greens, will be on your late fall menu. We also raise three types of Turnips plus Rutabagas. Winter Radishes include Daikon and 4 other varieties. There are eight kinds of Asian Greens and several Italian green including Broccoli Raab (Rabe/Rape), Arugula and Radicchio. All of these will be brought in, in additon to Leeks, Sage, Rosemary, Thyme, four kinds of Cauliflower (even Green!) and maybe even more Purple Broccoli/Cauliflower.
We still have a few summer crops for a couple of weeks more which will include Peppers, Eggplants and Beans. Lettuces are also still quite abundant in our fields.
So, we have MUCH to be thankful for as we look to the final weeks (last one is December 10th) of our 2009 season.
Organically Yours,
Farmer Bill (Halsey)
