ORCHARD HILL FARM COMMUNITY GARDEN
2008

Welcome to the twelfth CSA season at our farm! We have expanded the garden to 160 shares this season and are looking forward to a good harvest. We have three apprentices with us. Yehuda Nestel is back again in a Senior Apprentice position. Anna McFaul and Maciej Jamrozik are here for their first season. Jessica Foote is also joining us for the month of June.

Important info about the CSA

Children going to the barn must be accompanied by an adult.
Please stay clear of the rear end of the horses in the barn.

Pick-up times: 11:00 am – 7:00 pm (on your regular pick-up day)
If you are unable to come on your regular pick-up day, another person can pick-up your produce. Please let them know pick-ups don’t start until 11:00 am. You can also switch from your regular pick-up day to a Tuesday or Saturday for that week, however we need to know at least one day before the pick-up.

Working Shares
The sign up sheet is in the pick-up room. Please make an effort to come when you sign up. We are counting on your help. If you can’t make it please call as soon as possible `ahead of time. We enjoy getting to know our members while we work together. It is also a big help to have the extra hands, especially with the high labour crops.

Mesclun tips
When you take mesclun home, keep it in a container that is not too wet.
If storing mesclun in a plastic bag, add a paper towel to the bag and leave the bag open.
If storing in a plastic container, add a paper towel or keep mesclun in a cloth bag.

Recipes
If you have a recipe to share bring it along and we will post it. If you are unsure of what to do with some vegetables just Google: “CSA Recipes” There are lots and lots of websites with recipes that explain how to use the wide array of produce that you receive.
