Local Landmark 

The Meadville Market House, located in downtown Meadville, remains one of the primary outlets for our Fresh Little Farm Girl line of soaps and body care products we produce at the farm. 




The Market House continues to thrive year round providing a central meeting place for local producers and consumers.






 The historic building reflects the Market House's long tradition.



In addition to our Fresh Little Farm Girl line the Market House hosts a wide variety of local handcrafted goods and foods including Happy Mug Coffee and Beelzebub's products.  During the growing season the Market House organizes one of the best attended farmer's markets in our region 

 
Restocking and Inventory

This week, Sherrie took care of the monthly accounting and re-stocking of our products at the Market House.      
 
CSA News



2016 CSA  
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 delivery is $435.00

The number of memberships is limited. We are now accepting a 10% deposit ensuring a share is reserved for your choice of membership options.
 
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 you can sign up electronically on the CSA page at www.hunterfarmsorganic.com 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.
