Sign-up for the 2008 season has begun! An email went out today - please contact us if you were a member in 2007 but you didn't get a notice about rejoining this season. Here is the content of the email:

Hello 2007 Hellgate CSA members!

We are now opening registration for the 2008 season for last years members! The season runs from June 10th through November 25th, and includes vegetable, fruit, herb, basil, and tomato shares.

Our growing year this past season was a mixed bag - some crops did very well and some not as much. However, in general we felt we had a good season with plenty of variety over the weeks. We brought in many staples which people seemed to enjoy, especially tomatoes, beans and squashes.

Nancy from Lewis Waite Farm sent us the delivery schedule for the winter, as well as some info about new orders -- they've added two farms, and are getting a new batch of grass-fed beef that will be there in time for December orders.

We still need volunteers for the monthly winter distributions, so PLEASE let us know if you're available for any of these dates. Thanks!

Also remember that you do not have to be a member of the Hellgate CSA to order meat/dairy.

Just a note to say thank you to all of you that volunteered this season. Of course, volunteering is part of your CSA contract, but we'd like to thank you just the same. The CSA can't survive without your work as volunteers.
