Dear KCSA community,
Happy New Year! With 2020 finally over, we hope you are looking forward to the 2021 growing season as much as we are! This is Kimberton CSA’s 35th season. Thank you for your support!
Shares for 2021 are available for purchase on our website. You can purchase our full, partial or half shares via debit or credit card (with an additional processing fee) or fill in our google commitment form (please scroll down) and mail either 1, 2, or 10 checks via our payment plan. Sales have been pretty steady since they opened at the end of last season, so don’t delay to guarantee your spot!
Aside from a lot of rain and snow melt, there is not too much to report since we were last in touch. We have had a pretty quiet holiday period with some much needed downtime. However, we have been steadily trimming back the vines and brambles between the fields and our fence line before it is completely over run with vegetation. Unfortunately, the best time to do this is when the ground is solid, which means the ideal time is early on those cold, cold mornings!
We have also been doing other maintenance jobs around the farm. Cleaning up the pick-up shed, clearing out the cooler to repair the walls and framing the fronts of two of our greenhouses. Once that is complete, the next job is (weather permitting) to hammer in the foot posts for our new greenhouse, which will be named: Fieldhouse 4.
We should have some more exciting news the next time we communicate in February. Our first u-pick flower sowing of the season commences on the 31st January!
Cheers,
Andrew
