Welcome
to 2010!
Here at Tahoma Farms, we greet the New Year with joy, enthusiasm and gratitude: 2009 was a successful first year of growing certified organic vegetables in the Orting Valley; we learned a lot about growing food on our new land; we felt the support of our community; and we have some quiet time in the winter months to reflect, rejuvenate and plan for the upcoming season. And are we planning! Seed catalogs arrive in the mail daily, we are constantly revising our “to do” and “wish” lists and filling our computer screens with excel file upon excel file. As Amy says, “If you don’t have all of your planning done before the first seed is planted, you will be behind for the rest of the season.”
Which brings us to the purpose of post: we are hoping that you can help us out with our plans by signing up now for our 2010 CSA season. Tahoma Farms’ Community Supported Agriculture program (CSA) is a way to support a local farm directly, especially during the low income months of winter and early spring. If you pay for your membership now, it will help Tahoma Farms buy seeds, supplies and equipment. In exchange for your membership, you will receive a box of produce, grown just for you, every week (or every other week) during the growing season (approximately June through October). This community effort helps makes small scale agriculture viable.
Thank you for your continued support of local farms. We hope to hear from you soon!
Sincerely, Kim
