Early Sign Up Discount

For those of you that sign up to be a member of Clear Creek CSA before February 15 there will be a $10 discount.

NOTE: This year we have changed the price and the amount of a share. We are no longer offering half shares, since so many people ended up sharing a full share with another family. We decided to make our half share from last year become this year's share. It will include 1/4 to 1/2 bushel of fresh, seasonal, organically grown and local veggies, herbs, tubers and flowers for 22 weeks for $285.



For more information and sign up contract visit our website clearcreekcsa.com

Goats

We had some Christmas excitment on the farm; our goats had babies. We had 3 Nannies and 1 Billy, now we have 4 Nannies and 3 Billies. Jasmine had 3 kids (she lost one); Delia named the nanny Pumpkin and the billy Almond. Molly had 1 kid (billy) now named Hopper. The farm is growing and growing. We hope that CSA members (and other friends) can spend more time out here this summer.

1st post: 1-10-10

Last night was the perfect night to order seeds since it was the coldest night of the winter. Adam and I went a little bit crazy ordering a pleathra of seeds. This year's garden should be a palatte of color and fantastic flavor. We ordered the bulk of our seeds from Fedco, but plan on ordering a few more seeds from other companies including: Southern Exposure Seed Exchange and Baker Creek Seeds.

This year we ordered a larger variety of tomatoes; we hope that this year will be a better year for the tomato! We, also, are trying brussel sprouts, LOTS more herbs, more flowers (better ones to cut), 10 varieties of lettuce, delacata winter squash, honeydew, new watermelon, new pumpkins... I will try to post our order for those of you that are interested in varieties.

Blogging was a suggestion from some of our last year members; I hope that you enjoy it. Please, give me suggestions, comments or questions.

Delia and Evaline are up; so I'm signing off. Next blog will provide info about a discount for early sign up for returning Clear Creek CSA members.

Sweet Veggie Dreams until Spring!
