Our CSA members are coming out this afternoon to glean a couple pumpkins from the patch.  I think it’s a nice perk of being a member of Four Frog Farm.  We’re thinking of other ways to include our members in the farm.  Little by little I think we’ll have more interaction and a sense of mutual responsibilty.  

Isn’t that important for a CSA?  I mean, honestly, if it were about fresh veggies, you can go and shop at the market, and get EXACTLY what you want.  That, for most people, is far more convenient.  There are people who will eat anything (and that is ideal for me -makes life very easy) and want the box of the week, packaged and ready to go.  However, most want choice.  That is normal.  They sacrifice choice in order to more fully support a small farm.  Therefore, there must, in my eyes, be subsequent perks to being a member.

The patch is from 2-5 this afternoon.  Then, two more weeks of our CSA season.  After that, we’ll do one or two markets per week, plus deliveries to the coop for some months to come.
