Season Notes

Welcome to the 2010 season! We will post notes to members regarding housekeeping details and events on this page. Keeping current emails can be a challenge, so we decided to communicate as much as possible on the web site. We will also be communicating on Facebook - check out our Earth Dance Farm page!

2010 Season News

June 9th	Greetings from you CSA farmer and welcome to the 2010 season. Just a quick email to let everyone know that the 1st delivery will be on June 17th. I will send out a separate letter to all group site hosts who, in turn, will contact everyone picking up at their homes. It is important that all boxes are carefully broken down and placed visibly (along with the ice packs) for me to pick up on the following delivery. A tear in the tabs or handles of the boxes seriously hinders their use. Please take time to understand how the box is broken down. Housekeeping items: 1. Deliveries are on Thursdays. 2. Carefully break down boxes. 3. Leave flattened boxes and ice packs on premise for next week?s pick-up. 4. Weekly produce list on our website Monday eve before delivery. 5. Check website for any information. 6. Email or call as needed. 7. Newsletter on website Wednesday night. If you are splitting a membership and share with someone else, you will be getting just one box and you will need to work out how to split the produce between the partners. I am looking forward to the deliveries. I hope to see many familiar faces and meeting many of you who are new with us this season. If you need any other information or have any questions, including the delivery schedule, visit our website, earthdancefarm.net , for updated information. This year, our hope is to have more options to communicate with one another as a community, share recipes, knowledge, experiences, and any other general information. To serve this purpose, we have started both a facebook business page. The link for that page is as follows: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Spring-Valley-MN/EarthDanceFarm/100317814298 . We are also working on getting up a blog site. This would serve much the same purpose as the facebook page, but it would also include weekly updates from us as well as be an opportunity for everyone to build community through blogging. This blog is still in the making and as soon as it is up we will notify you all through the facebook page as well as through email. Also, a final note, our 1st member work day is Friday, June 11th beginning at 9 am, and the first member camping weekend is 25-27 of June; please register for that camping weekend by June 18th. Cheers! Norm and Laurie
