DINES FARMs

Greetings!
BBQ season is upon us and it’s a time for friends and family to get together for graduations, celebrations, and for no reason at all beyond the fact that it’s summer, so if you want to grill anything from Dines Farm…you might want to pre-order so when you show up at the CSA this week whatever you want…Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, Ribs, etc…is there waiting for you.
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…http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/05/dining/05dog.html If you didn’t read this NY Times article on the safety of agribusiness Hamburger meat…this is a must read for anyone who eats meat (a good motivation for getting to know where your meat comes from) and for non-meat eaters (for yet another reason to not to)…http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/04/health/04meat.html The next delivery from Dines Farm is this Thursday, June 3rd. Pickup is at the CSA/UUFH from 3:30pm to 7:30pm (though traffic may cause them to show up later…you can always call the UUFH hall phone to see if they’ve arrived at 631-385-1079).
TO PRE-ORDER FROM DINES FARM… Please email your order by 12pm, noon, Tuesday, June 1st. However, you can try calling Larry at 914-403-5828 if you are ordering after noon and see if they’ll put it thru. Allow more time for special requests.
