Join fellow CSA members for the CSA’s annual General Membership Meeting on Monday 14th at 7pm at the Hudson Guild Elliott Center at 441 W. 26th street (Dan Carpenter Room).

You will be able to sign up for your volunteer hours, and have a chance to meet our farmer, Deb Kavakos, as well as learn more about our CSA and Stoneledge Farm. Our farmers will also be presenting a slide show of the farm over the course of the year.

This is a potluck-style event, so please bring a dish to share. New and old members are strongly encouraged to attend.

Spring Message from the Farmer

Dear CSA Members,

Spring has come to the farm. The barn swallows have returned right on schedule, the wildflowers are in bloom. I have added new photos to our Facebook page trying to capture a bit of the spring time plant life that borders the farm fields.(And don’t forget to join the Chelsea CSA Facebook page!)

Tomorrow we start to transplant seedlings into the field. The greenhouses are full, the hoop houses spilling over with transplants and the sturdy greens of spring need to move into the field to make room.

Many of the CSA sites are filling up if they have not sold out of available shares. If you know of someone that would be interested in a CSA share, please pass on the farm website.

Welcome Spring.

Deborah

Winter Update from the Farm

Dear CSA Members,

As we slowly make our way through the winter months our thoughts and plans are looking ahead to the upcoming 2012 season. Seeds are ordered, delivered and line the bench, their packets categorized in alphabetical order. The potting soil sits high on pallets in the greenhouses and the seeding trays seem to be calling to us. We will start the first transplants the very first of March so for the next month, we will wait.

During January and February there are classes upon classes, conferences, educational opportunities almost every week for farmers. It is the time most farmers have to travel and attend to gather new ideas, hear the latest research and make plans for the season ahead. We have been busy attending, learning, discussing new ideas, and refining our practices. We can not wait to get started.

Thank you for your membership and your commitment to eating seasonally and locally. If you have not signed up for the 2012 season, registration is now open.

Deborah
for everyone at Stoneledge Farm
