Serendipity

When we visited Middlefield Cheese Co-op a couple of weeks ago We found the Co-op's market offering a line of jams being handmade by their neighbors, the Miller Family.      


After sampling the products and contacting the family we traveled to their farm and checked out their jam making facility pictured above earlier this week.

 

The Millers welcomed us and gave us a tour of their spotlessly clean and well organized jam making kitchen.  We are confident we found exactly the type of high quality local product that will make a perfect addition to our farm store's product lines.
      
CSA News


2016 CSA
 
Please Note:  Only 3 days remain to take advantage of the 10% early full payment discount, or to place a 10% deposit  guaranteeing a 2016 CSA Membership.

 
The 2016 USDA Certified Organic weekly shares will be approximately one half bushel in size. This volume is roughly equal to a full paper grocery bag.  Distributions will be on Saturdays. 

We offer two options:   
  FULL season memberships will consist of eighteen weekly distributions beginning on Saturday, June 18th. with the final distribution on Saturday, October 15th. 

CORE season memberships will consist of ten weekly distributions beginning on Saturday, July 16th, with the final distribution on Saturday, September 17th.

The cost of the full season membership is $600.00 
Full season membership with home delivery is $750.00

The cost of the core season membership is $350.00 
Core season membership with home deliver is $435.00

The number of memberships is limited. We are now accepting a 10% deposit ensuring a space is reserved for your choice of membership options. Past members, and everyone on our waiting list, will be guaranteed a 2016 membership as long as a deposit, or full payment is made between now, and the end of January.  After January we will open any remaining memberships to the public.

Any member wishing to pay in full during the month of January will receive a 10% discount.  Full payment made in February will be discounted 5%. In keeping with the original concept of CSA's, this provides meaningful savings to members while aiding the farm with early expenses for advance orders of organic seed and fertilizer, propagation, and planting.

Full payment for the full season share will be due on or before May 1st. 
Full payment for the core season share will be due on or before June 1st.

We anticipate using the same drop sites as last season.  Competitive Gear Bicycle Shop in Millcreek, and  the Whole Foods Co-Op in Erie.  We are looking into the possibility of adding others in the east and south county.

Home delivery is available in the city of Erie and the following townships;  Fairview, Franklin, Girard, Greene, Harborcreek, McKean, Millcreek, Summit, Washington, and Waterford

  Sign up forms are available at the farm, or will be mailed upon request.  Past members with no change in contact information can simply let us know you wish to sign up.  We can complete the form for you using the information in our records.

We are very much looking forward to serving our 2016 CSA members! Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
