Green Thumb Farm Huntington CSA

Happy New Year!

I took this past month off from CSAness and this week, will begin settling up last year’s business, and start up for this season. The 2010 contracts will go out the beginning of February for current members, and will go out the beginning of March to everyone else.

There were 10 orders for Dines Farm last time which was good, but I send this email out to almost 200 email addresses. Where is everyone? Have you all turned vegetarian??? Just teasing, but the more orders placed, the less likely Dines will stop making the trip to Huntington this winter. If not you, spread the word and with it, the following article…
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/04/health/04meat.html
If you haven’t read it, it’s a must read for anyone who eats meat, or not. It certainly sealed the deal on why I want to know where my food is coming from, and meat in particular.

If you’re a vegan/vegetarian, consider emailing this email 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.

If you’ve never seen it, or it’s been a while, here’s the NY Times article about their Hot Dogs…

The 2nd winter delivery from Dines Farm is this Thursday, January 21st. You must pre-order as they don’t plan on transporting all the meat they do during the CSA season (though they may well have a few things…like Eggs, Hot Dogs, Ground Beef and probably something chickeny …if you stop by and haven’t ordered in advance).

Pickup is in the parking lot in front of the UUFH from 4pm to 7pm. Larry will be in his van (and Jay too this week!) and I’m sure he’d appreciate if you could pick up your order ASAP  .

You’re more than welcome to stop by and just say hi as I know Larry & Jay would enjoy seeing you all.

The remaining planned delivery dates for this winter are…
February 4th & 18th
March 4th & 18th
April 1st (no fooling!) & 15th
