CSA Week 20-2011

Friends,
So another season comes to a close. Our gratitude and appreciation for you and your commitment to us cannot be fully expressed through the limitations of words. It is something that is held deeply within our being and shared with you, our friends, out of a labor of love, conviction and belief.
Farming is a risky business. Organic farming is even riskier. However, if we never take risks, we know that we will never achieve our dreams and realize our full potential as human beings. Our dream is for a world where agriculture is a part of the solution, not a part of the problem. And we believe that sustainable farming will help us truly understand what it means to be fully human.
As with most years in farming there have been disappointments and there have been serendipities. The weather really challenged us this year and compromised some of our crops. That same crazy weather gave us a cool, wet September that enabled us to have lettuce and Chinese greens for you the last two weeks. We also had our first real success with sweet potatoes. So, we lament our failures and celebrate our successes. Seems a lot like life.
Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for believing in local, organic farming. And, thank you for being a risk taker.
See ya tomorrow at the market.
Larry and Beth
