Note from Kate 


Hello friends,

We still have subscriptions available!

Thank you to all who have already signed up for this season. May the memory of fresh spinach, peppers, cantaloupe, and carrots jump start your salivary glands!

Returning subscribers ... We have been pleased to grow produce for you, and we want to do so this season if you are interested. While we're happy that many new people have been sending in subscription forms, we want to save space for you.

To all ... please be in touch if you desire to subscribe this year. If subscribing doesn't meet your needs, remember that our produce is available at the St. Joe Farmer's Market and Minnesota Street Market.

And there are many additional ways to be involved at the garden ... help lead kid's activities, share recipes, coordinate a potluck, or write for the newsletter. See a list of ideas on our Building Community site. We also have a "Friends of the Garden" email list of folks who would like to receive our newsletter and hear about events. Let me know if you would like to be moved to this list.

Blessings,
Kate Ritger
Production Manager

CGG logoCommon Ground Garden is a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm, where members purchase a share of vegetables and each week during the farm season receive a bountiful box of fresh produce. We pride ourselves on producing fresh, clean, healthful food picked at the peak of flavor and nutrition. As much as we are able, we grow our vegetables without the use of any chemical herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers. We use cover crops, rotations, compost and ingenuity to produce your food in a way that's healthy for you and for the community. When necessary for pest control or to combat disease, we use only products approved for organic gardening.
