We finished the CSA season and we worked on the new property getting beds set up and covered with their mulch duvets. Nice and cozy for the winter. We also have all of our garlic planted for next year. Now we're enjoying the downtime and making our way through the holiday season. Doesn't it seem like we need to just chill out right now instead of getting all hyped up for the holidays? I mean, if nature takes a bit of a vacation, it seems we should follow suit. Anyway, it's not easy for most of us to opt out of the festivities at this time of year but I think that following nature's lead is something we should do more of. Permaculture asks us to watch nature and take notes. Nature is very good at self-regulating and slowing down. I'm doing that this winter. 2016 CSA Program And yet...there is still work being done. In nature things are often still growing and moving even in the dead of winter under layers of snow (if we ever get any). Sleeping and dreaming and prepared for the ideal conditions to sprout into life. And so in the work for the farm we are planning and dreaming and getting ready for next season. I have updated our CSA Program information for the 2016 season so sign up whenever you are ready. If you are a Founding Member then your price per week will be the same as last year at $20 per week. This year our program will only be 15 weeks long. There will be a 1 week break in July and again in August. This will take care of those times when we find the produce needs a chance to catch up with our demand as older crops die back. We also have a 7 week-alternate week option. Sign up now. Founding Members have first claim on this year's CSA spots. Have a lovely holiday!
