Week #12 - What's in the Box - A Fond Farewell... for now!

Well its our final week of the Fenez Follies Farm CSA for the summer of 2012! The twelve weeks have flown by for us and I'm hoping that all our shareholders are happy with their experience this year! Despite the hail and the heat, we hope that you've enjoyed some of your favorite veggies as well as being exposed to some new foods and ideas. We've enjoyed feeding you and your family and hope that you might join us again next summer.

If anyone is interested in eggs, beef, pork or poultry... all will be available throughout the fall/winter. Eggs, of course, we have a steady supply of... we have some cuts of pork left (see our products page) and will have more in November. Beef is going in next week and so will be ready in two weeks. We will have another batch of chickens at the end of October. We still have whole turkeys available. As we get stuff in, we will share the news through our e-mail list and blog. You are all on our mailing list so no worries... unless you would prefer to not hear of these offerings and then you will need to let us know.

What's in the box this week:
Onions - both purple and white
Potatoes

Zucchini
Herbs (basil, parsley, chives)

While we welcome a change of pace from the weekly picking and packing of boxes, we will miss the weekly interaction we have had with each of you as you come to discover what goodies we have in store this week. One of the reasons we like to share our farm produce in this way (CSA) is that ability to get to know your customer (and vise versa) as oppose to the more anonymous interactions that might occur at a farmer's market or store. We love to hear your stories of trying new things as well as enjoying tried and true favorites. We hope that we can continue to feed you and hope to see you again soon! We are frequently in the city so let us know if we can get you eggs or meats throughout the cold months and dream of fresh veggies ready next summer!
