Come to the Spring Celebration, Sunday June 7th, New sharers 11am, Potluck at noon.
Wed 3 Jun 2009 4:55pm
This Sunday, June 7th we are kicking off our 2009 season with a Spring Celebration. Meet new sharers, talk to board members, rekindle old relationships, share new recipes, bring friends and enjoy the beauty of our farm. Pick-ups will start a few days later, on June 9th and 12th.
Come at 11:00 for a new sharer orientation. It can also be a refresher for seasoned members. We will discuss the logistics of picking up your share as well as what to do with it when you get home. At 11:30 we will walk the fields and discuss our growing practices. You will be introduced to the new locations of most of our crops. Crop rotation is one of our organic practices; it is not meant to confuse you.
Our potluck will begin at noon. This is your opportunity to shine by bringing in your favorite dish that feeds around 8 people. Please bring a card stating the ingredients of your dish. It helps those with restricted diets make healthy choices. Have fun, be creative and colorful. We all love to eat, especially food prepared by others. TO BE ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE, WE ARE NOT USING DISPOSIBLE PRODUCTS. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN PLATES, UTENSILS, CUPS AND NAPKINS. You can wash them at the sink before you go home.
After feasting and poetry and a welcoming to all, we are pleased to have a performance of traditional New England barn dance music by Steven Cushing and Damaris Rohsenow. As we are tapping and clapping and maybe even dancing, the children are invited to paint rocks that will be used to define areas in the children's garden. The Herb Garden crew will give a tour of Penelope's Herb Garden. Following the music performance we will offer hayrides for the kids, young and old.
A note about our parking lot. We are switching the exit and entrance to our farm. Please turn into what used to be the exit at the west end of the lot and go out the east end by the mailbox. Be patient with those who forget.
Come, sit under the apple tree and celebrate the beginning of our season. I look forward to seeing you Sunday.
Peace,
Kathy Huckins, Farm Manager
