WINDFLOWER FARM’S WINTER SHARE
Windflower Farm’s winter share consists of a collection of organically grown storage vegetables and greens, and apples, pears and cider from neighboring farms, all pre-packaged in a 1-bushel box. Winter share boxes will be delivered on four Saturdays during the winter (11/19/2011, 12/17/2011, 1/21/2012, 2/11/2012). West Harlem CSA Winter distributions will take place at Broadway Presbyterian Church, from 12:00 to 1:00.
Mary and Bob Pratt from Elihu Farm are also offering egg shares to Winter shareholders. If you purchase an egg share, it will be delivered along with your Winter vegetable share.
Have a great Winter and enjoy your Winter Share!

WHCSA new start week is JUNE 14 due to weather issues!
Hi Everyone – Please note that we were recently notified by Ted Blomgren, our farmer at Windflower Farm, that because of all the crazy weather this past month he has been forced to push back his harvesting and our start date one week. So our new start date will be TUESDAY JUNE 14th. This means that our 22 week season will be from June 14th to November 8th 2011. See you all at the first distribution.
May 27th Last Chance to Purchase Limited Available Shares!
The start of the new season is just around the corner (June 7th) but we still have a limited amount of shares available for purchase. If you’ve been thinking about purchasing a share, now’s the time to do it. After May 27th, we will no longer accept any share purchases and we will inform you if shares are sold out before then.

Group Makes Organic Produce Affordable for Uptown Residents
By Leslie Albrecht
DNAinfo Reporter/Producer
UPPER WEST SIDE — Buying organic produce can take a big bite out of your wallet, but one Upper West Side food group is providing farm fresh vegetables on the cheap.
The West Harlem Community Supported Agriculture Group, whose members pay for weekly deliveries of organic vegetables from Windflower Farm in Valley Falls, N.Y., is taking food stamps and subsidizing memberships for low-income families.
By working with the Hunger Action Network of New York State and the New York City Coalition Against Hunger, the West Harlem CSA sets aside 40 percent of its memberships for people who can’t afford the full $495 fee for a weekly produce delivery from June to November. Read the entire story here!
