Greetings from the Farm,

Our deliveries begin this month with our Spring crops of strawberries, lettuces and herbs. Our crops are coming in later than last year because of the cold Spring (especially nights) which made the plants grow more slowly.

In addition to our Spring harvest crops, our tomatoes, beans, squash (of different varieties), beets, carrots, scallions, fennel and chards are all planted and growing well. These will be begin to be ready starting, possibly, by the end of the month or July.

Meet farmer Bill Halsey and hear him talk about organic farming and his role in our CSA, and ask about the veggie, herb, basil, and tomato shares.

- Tuesday, May 26th, at 7pm, at our distribution site (the back of Fresh Start grocery).

- Snacks will be provided.

Hi everyone!

Here is today's final Winter 2009 share information:

Registration for Summer 2009 Hellgate CSA shares will open very soon! Returning members will be invited to register first, followed by people who have signed up to our wait list. Here are the shares we will be offering:

Vegetable Share ($350.00) - Green Thumb Farm's basic produce share delivered once weekly to the distribution site. Includes tomatoes, squash, lettuce, eggplant, peppers, sweet potatoes, herbs, and more.  Distribution will be from June 9 - November 24, which works out to 25 weeks at $14/week.

As you know, eggs and granola that were part of Tuesday's share were not available at Tuesday's pickup. They will be delivered and available for pickup on Sunday. Please refer to the email you should have received from Hellgate CSA listing the place and time of pickup. If you did not receive an email about Sunday's pickup, please contact info@hellgatecsa.com.

Thank you for your patience and to everyone who made this second delivery possible.
