| To our 2022 CSA Members – We will echo Tom’s sentiments as we thank you for your support with our great experiment last season! We took a big step in agreeing to manage the Farm in Tom’s absence and are both glad that we did. We loved getting to know each of you who visited the Farm and farm stand regularly. We learned more than we had expected, not only about farming and running a business, but also about ourselves. After much conversation, we’ve decided to return to our familiar roles as volunteers at Hope’s Edge. We’re looking forward to being able to give our home gardens and families a bit more attention and may even set up a multi-family farm stand with our home-grown produce. Wherever our paths lead, we both still intend to remain connected to the Hope’s Edge community. Perhaps you’ll join us on this year’s volunteer crew! While this marks the end of the Hope’s Edge Farm CSA and farm stand, our neighbors at Hope Orchards are hosting a growing CSA and farm stand as well. Kyle and Anna are entering their 3rd year of running K&A CSA and are like-minded in their intentions to build soil and community resilience through farming. If you’re interested in joining another CSA, we hope you’ll get in touch with them. Happy Spring! We are grateful to know you. Rachel & Jason |
