For the past couple of months I haven’t really thought about farming. I have been enjoying a bit of a respite if you will. Proeun said that when we are actually on our farm he hopes to use the off season to work on crafts and projects indoors. I have done some of that, but now I am dreaming of farming once again. Seed catalogs have started arriving and I am eagerly awaiting my favorite (Seeds of Change). Territorial Seeds is already here and they have captured my interest. Johnny’s is yet to arrive. <\/p>\n
This year we are focusing our efforts on a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). I first heard about this amazing opportunity 5 years ago before planning to farm ourselves, but it never seemed the right time to join. Last year as a farmer at the Minnesota Food Association we received some boxes containing our and other farmer’s produce. From a consumer standpoint it was wonderful. It was so exciting to see what was in the box this week and plan and use all the phenomenal produce that I knew was 100% safe. Not only did I know it was safe I knew who grew it and where but that they were passionate about what they did. <\/p>\n
This year we have decided to offer that experience to other consumers. I knew from researching CSAs that the East side of St. Paul had few if any drop sites. And from meeting neighbors here and around I felt that there would definitely be some demand. So we chose the Eastside as a drop site and I am so syked about eating all that great produce and sharing it with our neighbors. <\/p>\n
So if you have if you have ever considered joining a CSA I hope you will consider joining us. Here’s the basic info.<\/p>\n
Dropsites: Eastside of St. Paul (35E and Maryland)
South Maplewood\/Woodbury (Century and Highwood)
Rosedale (TBA)<\/p>\n
Season: Mid June-Mid October (18-20 weeks)<\/p>\n

Cost: $495 ($27.50\/week roughly)<\/p>\n
