2011 Cooperative CSA info is finally here!

This year we are proud to announce...

Sunny Meadows Flower Farm 2011 Farmers' Cooperative Community Supported Agriculture Program

This season will be a total of 20 weeks, beginning the week of June 7^th and ending October 18^th. Each week you will get an array of all natural, local, farm fresh vegetables based on seasonality. Mother Nature will ultimately determine crop availability, but your share will include more than a variety of produce. Instead this year, it will be a cooperative of local farms. Your share will also include fresh cut flowers, fruit, herbs, fresh baked bread, canned goods, homemade soap, cheese, eggs, meats and other things throughout the season.

This year's partners include: Honeyrun Farm, Osage Lane Creamery, Lucky Cat Bakery, Blue Owl Garden Emporium, Anderson's Orchards, Triple J Farms and an Amish farmer named Vernon Yoder. All participating farms use sustainable, all natural practices and are in the Central Ohio area. There may be others involved too, but we will always make sure to let you know where you got it from, so you know where you can get more. Our goal is to expose you to the array of things that are available locally and also to give you a more eclectic CSA share each week. Please let us know if you are a vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or have any other dietary restrictions that would affect your weekly CSA share.

CSA newsletter:

There will be weekly updates via newsletter about the share that is to come. With the vegetables that you may not be familiar, will be a full description and recipes. We have found that people who utilize the recipes are the ones who typically enjoy their share the most, as they find new ways to use their share contents. To be environmentally conscious we would prefer to have the newsletter online, but for those of you whom that will not work for will receive one when you pick up your share.

For the 2011 growing season the share price is $475, but we offer payment plans:

• Early bird: $450 if paid by March 1^st, 2011
• Full price: $475 paid by May 1^st, 2011
• Installment plan: 3 installments of $160 paid by March 1^st, April 1^st, and May 1^st
