It’s been over a month since I sent you an e-mail soliciting your comments about the general operation of Hope’s Edge CSA. I’ve received many responses and feel obliged to get back to you. But, rather than respond to each of you individually, I’ve chosen to respond with this one general note and hope that this will be more than sufficient to answer your concerns and comments. » read more…

Spring? Where? Not here in Hope Maine. It seems like not so long ago that I e-mailed you raving about the arrival of cold weather. But now, a look out my window tells me that winter is staying way past his welcome. But, it’s the weather It does me absolutely no good to complain about it. All I can do is be patient and wait for the inevitable change. In the meantime I’m visualizing an awsome May through October.

Early in the season I had set out some books for people to borrow. They were on the table to the right of the farm stand. At the time, I had failed to mention that they were to be signed out and returned when you were done with them. Now we are down to the last week and these books have still not made it back to me. I’m hoping that they are not gone for good. If you took one of these books (I’m not refering to the magazines) please bring it with you when you come to pick up your share this week. I don’t even remember all the titles but among the titles I do remember were; Against The Grain, Saugeen River CSA cookbook, and Summer In A Jar. Please bring them back. I miss them. Tom

Next week marks the end of our season together. The garden beds have gone from sodden muck back in May and June, to productive soils which have fed us through the summer and now, for the most part lay fallow or are planted to cover crops. The cycle is nearly complete. This is a bittersweet time for me. I am sad to see the end of the productive season, yet I look forward to a winter of physical rest.

For those of you who have expressed an interest in more blueberries, I have called in the order and they will deliver the berries on Thursday afternoon. Those of you who pick-up on Frday can get your berries then. The Tuesday crowd may want to come out before then to get your berries. Let me know if this presents a problem for you. Thats all for now.

Hello CSA members,
At this point almost everyone has picked up their blueberries and nearly everyone is happy with them. Some folks are so pleased that they wanted to know if they might get more. Well, Highland Farms has more and if there is sufficient interest then I will order more. Let me know by this weekend. Waiting to hear from you. Tom
