We had our first planning meeting for growers tonight at Coal Street Pub. We missed Erika, who has moved to Ecuador to grow veggies and her family in the tropics, but we are all excited about the partnerships we are arranging for this season, which we hope will result in growing enough local food even to sell at the farmers’ market, mentoring young organic gardeners, developing the workforce, and building the soil in more local gardens!
Amy and I are meeting soon to catch up on some membership and account duties, so expect an account update soon, subscribers. Also you’ll see a survey to tell us what special requests you have for 2009 fresh eats.
Anyone who is still looking for a share this season, subscribe soon so we can plan for it. Looks like there will be plenty of growing space but we need to plan for it. We also have a good system in place for keeping track of in-kind contributions like labor, land use, etc, so we are eager to barter with you!

Get your best price on a 2009 harvest subscription before the end of this month! $360 is 10% off and will get you 12 weeks of incredible vegetables for just $30/week. Imagine what that would buy you off a truck from California . . . not much.

Thanks, members, for checking in with our website. Here is the plan for pickup:
Starting July 12th and for 11 more Saturdays thereafter we would like you to pick up your shares of the harvest between 9am and 10am at the Work in Beauty House, 113 E Logan Ave, Gallup. This is on the northwest corner of Puerco and Logan. Signs on the property will tell you where to find us and your vegetables. If you need to come later in the day we will leave your share there for you to pick up with instructions about how much to take of each variety and with bags for you to fill.
If you need any special care when it comes to picking up let’s talk about it. Feel free to call Steve 722-6842.
We are eyeing up the following varieties for harvest that week: broccoli, chard, mustard, collards, beets, onions, garlic, flat-leaf parsley, new potatoes, romaine lettuce and basil. Anyone have any recipes to share? If so please post them as comments to this posting. Thanks!

You know you’ve caught the spirit of a cooperative endeavor like the CSA when you find a way to share your share. We have an order from a group of close friends sharing a share in the 2008 harvest, and what a deal when the check comes in before January! Thanks guys! We sure appreciate you!

I just uploaded the Info Page .pdf and the Order Form .pdf for the 2008 harvest. We should get some pics online and the print flyer soon.
