For anyone considering joining either Lancaster Farm Fresh or Red Earth Farm CSAs for the season, an announcement:

2008 LANCASTER FARM FRESH CSA MEMBERSHIP

This Saturday March 8, at noon, our web site will accept applications for shares in the Lancaster Farm Fresh CSA, 2008 season.

You can apply for this CSA anytime after noon March 8. You will be able to pay by PayPal, or you can send a check to the address given at the bottom of the application form.

We can accept approximately 200 members for this CSA. We will accept members up to this limit in the order applications are received, provided we also receive payment within a week after the application date for those paying by check.

2008 RED EARTH FARM CSA MEMBERSHIP

In a week or so we will open our website for membership in the Red Earth Farm CSA. The exact date and time of the opening will be posted soon on this CSAs web page:

My friend and I are patiently waiting to jump on board with Red Earth. Is it spring yet?

I really liked the Lancaster Farm Fresh CSA share I bought last year. Like anything else, I thought there was room for improvement...but the shares were huge and the produce was usually outstanding.

I, too, am looking forwarding to the beginning of CSA season!!

Just wanted to put in a word for Lancaster Farm Fresh--the produce was gorgeous, and Amy’s communication about what was in the shares, etc. was always clear and helpful. Did I mention the produce?

Support a local farmer, crave the freshest produce, worry about what's in or on your food - whatever your reason for eating locally grown and produced food in the Philadelphia area, Farm to Philly is probably writing about it. We're focused on where to find it, how to grow it, and what to do with it!
