Do you want great garden fresh, organically-grown vegetables this summer? Free-range chicken, eggs, and duck raised on Certified Naturally Grown land and feed that does not contain any medications or growth stimulants (other than good food)? Please let us know now.
This year members will have the option of picking their shares up on Draper Avenue in Plattsburgh, in Marsha Lawrence’s garage. You also can come to the farm and choose your veggies farmstand style on Tuesdays. Since we have to plan our plantings well ahead of time I regrettably encourage members to join early by increasing the price if your membership form and deposit are not received (or postmarked) by January 31st. (We are applying to accept SNAP benefits also. Call us if you want to use SNAP benefits please.) I am encouraged by those who have already renewed this year, and by members who continue to rave about the vegetables’ flavor last year. For more info and a membership form, go over to our CSA info page.
If you like wonderfully juicy free-range chicken and succulent duckling, please help us plan ahead so we will have the size bird you want when you want it. In a repeat of last year, feed prices are projected to increase, so we don’t offer a chicken CSA per se. We do hope to hold the price at $4/lb. If folks buy 10 or more at one time we will give a discount. We have liked raising them to 5 pound and larger because the larger birds have a higher meat/bone ratio, but are having more customers request a smaller, 4 lb chicken. We need to put our orders for baby chicks in soon, so please let me know and I will “talk” with you about the number and dates you would like them. Just email me.
We do appreciate your support of our farm. Thank you.
