March 26, 2008 (updated:
April 26, 2008)
We are pleased to announce
the formation of a new CSA, between Wynnorr Farm and a group
of local Amish farmers. In addition to the Stratton family
this partnership includes eight local Amish families from
Lancaster County. Most of these are young couples with
children who are looking to diversify their farm operations
and provide opportunities for their families.
The first produce will be
available in late June, 2008. This venture is in
addition to our regular market. We will continue to
operate the Wynnorr Farm produce market as always.
For our first season we are
offering a 15 week subscription beginning in late June and
continuing until late September. Each week we plan to
include an average of eight different items for each
member share. Seasonal Produce will include more than 2
dozen types of produce. Not all items will be included each
week. Whenever possible, produce will be grown using
naturally grown or organic methods. A full list of this
year’s planned crops is listed below.
We will also occasionally
include specialty items such as homemade mustard, jams, cut
flowers and baked goods. In addition, subscribers will
have first choice to purchase, at an additional cost, free
range eggs, chickens and Thanksgiving turkeys. At this time
we are not offering “pick your own” produce. You will also
have the opportunity to meet the farmers and their families
during the season.
The cost for this season is
$375 paid in advance. Memberships are limited to 50 families
and are only available on a first come first served basis.
(UPDATE 4/26/08: WE'VE EXPANDED TO 100 FAMILIES) By joining now, your family receives a summer of fresh local
produce at a guaranteed low price. Plans are underway for
an additional fall season (October and November) that will
be offered to summer members.
Our first season will include
15 weeks of produce with approximately 6-10 items each week.
Vacation weeks or missed pick ups will not be refunded.
Shares are non transferable and are limited to 1 family (3-4
people) per share. Membership Card or Photo ID must be
presented to pick up your weekly share. Your once weekly
pick up will be at Wynnorr Farm. If you are on vacation,
you may send someone (with your membership card) to pick up
your share.
Your share will include
seasonal produce from the selection below. Not all items
will be offered each week.
