On The Table June 21

Remember to sign up for Lewis Waite Meat/ Dairy. The order deadline is June 16 (tomorrow) for delivery June 21! Here’s a note from the farm:

Dear Members,
CSA order reminder for June 21
We are writing this reminder for our delivery coming up on Thursday, June 21. The order deadline is on Saturday, June 16 at midnight. We thank you for indulging us this extra day for preparation of the orders as the number of farms we coordinate with has increased and the number of orders has increased as new CSAs are phoning us to see how we can fit them in our routes each month. We thank you for all the support through the winter months. We can feel the surge of the BUY LOCAL consumer response to the corporate food blunders and additives we cannot pronounce and extensive travel for the food they offer and feel that soon we may need to find more farms and encourage more start-up farmers to participate in growing the foods for our region. Thank you, we love our farm life, as busy as it can be at times!

On The Table Newsletter, June 13

Come one, come all to our first annual Strawberry Picking event! Astoria CSA has been invited by our farmers to pick strawberries at the Golden Earthworm farm in Jamesport on Saturday, June 16 @ 12 noon. This is sure to be a great (and tasty) event.

Members are responsible for their own transportation to this event. Please use the “comments” button below to meet up with other members to offer or search for rides (also ask members at distro Thursday!). We encourage members to rent cars together (there are 5 new zipcars in Astoria!). If you take the train please take a taxi from the station (always some available) to the farm.

Astoria CSA members enjoy the reduced rate of $3 per quart of strawberries– pick ’til your heart is content.

Please RSVP by leaving a comment below if you plan to attend. The farmers need to make plans if we’ll be a large group. Thanks!
