Wickham Farms Announces Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Program
Wickham Farms is now accepting members for its community-supported agriculture (CSA) program, 
which will begin in the spring of 2012. The CSA provides an opportunity for people to eat with
the seasons and support local farming.
For 20 weeks from late June through October, CSA members will receive fresh produce grown in Penfield by Wickham Farms (and, rarely, by other local farmers). Every share will include generous portions of the farm's harvest, including fresh greens in the spring; summer favorites like tomatoes, melons and sweet corn; cooking staples like onions, carrots and potatoes; and fall favorites such as cabbage and winter squash. The Wickham Farms CSA will offer opportunities for its members to participate in the farming experience, with volunteer opportunities and U-pick bonuses for people to pick extra quantities. Working on the farm is not a requirement of membership. If you are interested in more information, please contact Bill Wickham at (585) 747-7512 or email him at Bill@Wickhamfarms.com. |

PBA Event Reservation Payment Notice
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your incredible support in attending our events! We appreciate your enthusiasm and participation in our workshops, networking and community events. In the past, the PBA has absorbed any expense for members who registered for events but were unable to attend for various reasons. Unfortunately the cost for holding events has increased and it has become necessary for us to change this practice. Going forward, the PBA will need to charge you for any reservation you are unable to fulfill unless we receive a cancellation notice 48 hours prior to the event. We are sensitive to the fact that last minute schedule challenge occur and we encourage you to send a substitute in your place if you find yourself unable to attend. For all PBA meetings requiring reservations and a meeting fee, we have always extended a "pay at the door" option to our members and guests and will continue to do so.Recently, we added the option to pay by credit/debit card via PayPal on the PBA website. This option will continue to be available as well. Again, thank you for your tremendous support! We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!
