Fishers Produce 2017 CSA

Dear Friends,

We are getting back into gear after our year in Congo and are ready to open CSA registration for our 2017 season. Our community supported agriculture program is an opportunity for you to partner with the farmers that grow your food.

We are going to make some big changes to our Tulsa deliveries this year. Our current plan is to retire from Brookside Market (with a few sweet corn exceptions) and instead set up a CSA market stand at B’nai Emunah Synagogue on Wednesday evenings. All Brookside and other former Tulsa members welcome! This will still be a CSA, but you will be able to pick out your own vegetables with some choice and flexibility as to what and how much you would like to take home each week. You will also be able to visit with us and fellow members who may be picking up at the same time. We can share growing tips, recipe ideas, and in general, have a real community.

We plan to deliver to B’nai Emunah each Wednesday from April 19 through July 5. This will be twelve weeks of fresh produce at $25.00 per week. We may also do an encore edition delivery on July 19 and others later depending on how the weather and garden are doing. We will set up in front of the synagogue for two hours each week from 3:30-5:30 (or possibly 6:00?) Please let us know your preferred pick-up time in the sign-up form/survey.

Some of our highlights this year will be asparagus, strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, sweet corn, and more blackberries, but we will have the full range of spring and summer garden staples and favorites as they come into season.

In addition to weekly produce, you and your family will be invited to join us for a harvest dinner on the farm sometime during the second half of June. You will also be able to come out and get your hands dirty on farm “work days.” These are not mandatory! but an opportunity for those who wish to be more involved or give their children the first hand experience of seeing a farm in action. Some planned farm day projects: potato and onion harvest, high tunnel building, and sweet corn picking!

Blessings from the Fishers,

Luke, Chantee, Hudson, and Maria
