Members, Do We Have Your Email Address?

Have you checked your inbox lately? Truth be told, you should be just a little sick of us right about now, what with the Pick-Up schedules, the Volunteer Sign Ups, the Google Group invites, and the Newsletter. We promise this is going to calm down soon, but this past week may have felt a little overwhelming (for us, too!).

Wait…you haven’t heard from us? You haven’t gotten the Newsletter’s Orientation Edition? Haven’t received even one Google Group Invite? You don’t even know when you’re supposed to pick up your vegetables?

First, go check your spam filter. You may find us there, amid the numerous Free Socks For Life messages you’re probably right to ignore. If so, just check whatever box you need to check to un-filter us and all is well.

If you still don’t see any messages from us, chances are that somewhere along the line, we got your email address wrong. If you suspect that is the case, please email us (wharlemcsa@gmail.com) with your correct information ASAP. We don’t want you to miss another email!

First Pick-Up Tuesday, June 12th! (Full Shares/ Half-Share Group A)

Don’t forget to bring your bags (at least one big bag, and I recommend a couple of smaller ones, too).

…That’s All, Folks!

There are no more shares available for the 2012 season.

Extra Items News

We are very happy to offer the opportunity to order once a month from the Lewis Waite Farm again this year. The 250 acre Lewis Waite Farm raises 100% grass-fed beef and all natural, pastured pork. In addition, they contract over twenty other upstate and regional farms to deliver hundreds of sustainably raised and produced products packaged especially for you. All of our meat animals are anti-biotic and hormone free, and most are pasture raised. Every farm has humane handling practices, and treats the land with respect.

Some available products are: handmade organic bread, raw-milk cheeses,  honey, jams, granola, chicken, duck, eggs, organic beans and grains, and all kinds of sustainably raised local meats.  Members can visit www.csalewiswaitefarm.com to get a better sense of what Lewis Waite is all about.   As the first Lewis Waite delivery nears, the extra shares coordinator will provide you with login information and instructions on how to order. Your order and payment is directly with the farms. West Harlem CSA just serves as the convenient pickup location.

Feel free to contact the farm directly if you would like more information! (farmoffice@csalewiswaitefarm.com)

West Harlem CSA Begins its 6th Season!!

Our 2012 season will start deliveries on June 12th.

Last year’s members should have already received an email with this year’s application. To secure your participation in the season, you will need to return the forms by March 19th with either the full payment or a deposit of at least 10%.  Please note that this year, our deadline for full payment due is April 27th.

We will open membership to the waiting list and others on March 20th. Please remember that we have a limited amount of shares to go round, so if you want a share for the 2012 season, do not tarry.

Also, please be sure to include on the application the name and email address and/or phone number of everyone who will be sharing the share and fulfilling the required volunteer hours.

We look forward to seeing you this season!
