Abundant Harvest

This is actually a song title by John Pitney.  It’s a song that we always play at our farm party during the slide show.

We often hear from our members that they like getting to know the people who do the work to grow their food.  And we love getting to know our memebers…our fabulous feasters!

A line in the song says, ’share the bounty, share the risk’….  Which is a big part of running and being a member of a CSA.  We are happy to say that we have mostly experienced sharing the bounty of a bumper crop!   Although, some do think you can have too many peppers and cucumbers….others are delighted for it!  We have had a few crops produce poorly or fail altogether, here we have shared the risk.

Below is an excerpt of “That’s My Farmer” song by John Pitney:

Oh, that’s my farmer!
Don’t I have good taste?
We’re taking back our food system!
It needs a human face.

I just can’t wait till Tuesday
To see what’s in our box.
Community Supported Agriculture really rocks!
Harvest bad? Harvest brisk?
We share the bounty, share the risk.
Cheap food gone berserk,
We pay directly, to those who do the work…..

We completed our 4th successful and abundant summer CSA season in October.  The season began in late spring a bit slower than we anticipated.  Before long,  summer hit and we were quickly overrun with produce!

We are honored with many wonderful Harvest volunteers which is why we had such a great season.  Thanks a million to each of you.

And we must send many thanks to our wonderful members whose memberships keep us growing a lot of food!

Of course we must also thank mother nature for such great weather that kept  the plants growing and producing so wonderfully.
