Our 2008 CSA Farm Fresh Food Club will consist of a seventeen-week Summer Share from June 6 through September 26. Members will come to Rehoboth Homestead on Friday afternoons from 3 to 6:30 p.m. to select from a buffet of fresh vegetables. Additional items may be available as u-pick. The cost is $340, due by May 15.
We are just off Route 9, nine-tenths of a mile south of Bear Swamp Road. This is about a mile and a half south of Ausable Point Campground and just north of the bridge over the Ausable River that is a couple miles north of Ausable Chasm. Jabez Allen Road is actually old Route 9, following the top of the hill. We are closer to the intersection with Sullivan Road than the map shows.
The weekly share will provide a variety of vegetable side dishes and salad for four or five meals for two or three adults. Your eating pattern will determine how much of your vegetable consumption is covered by a CSA Farm Fresh Food Club Share. The shares will average at least a $24 value, resulting in at least a 17% savings. The first shares may be a little light to avoid swamping you in greens, but it will be made up later.
A newsletter will include recipes to guide you in the use of any new and unusual vegetables that we include, as well as enhance your repertoire with your old favorites.
We also offer free-range chicken and duck eggs and ready-to-cook free-range broilers/roasters. Because of sky-rocketing feed costs we cannot guarantee a price for the season, BUT, you may order eggs or chicken, from week-to-week, and we will be sure to reserve your order for you.
The advantages of joining the Farm Fresh Food Club over buying from our farmstand or from our booth at the Plattsburgh Farmers Green Market or Lake Placid Farmers Market include:
- You will have a wider selection.
- You will get at least a 17% savings over our farmers market prices.
- You will have the opportunity to see how your food is grown.
- You will have the opportunity to u-pick additional items.
- You will get a chance to share recipes with other members.
- You may purchase additional items (beyond your share allotment) at a discount.
- The most frequently mentioned benefit (other than great tasting veggies) is that, since they've already paid for it, members try different kinds of vegetables that they haven't had before.
