Fresh, local, organically grown fruit and veggies. Mmmmmmm.


Here is a letter from my dear friends, The Cochrans, who run the Eco-Gardens CSA, which we love. What is CSA? It stands for Community-Supported or Shared Agriculture, and it's a lot like having a garden but without all the work!
*******************************************************************************
Greetings friends!
Hope everyone enjoyed Happy Holidays!
It is time!

Please help me spread the word about Eco-Gardens CSA's early bird Discount. The cost is very reasonable, averaging $16.07 per week for those who Post-Mark their Sign-Up Forms on or before Feb 20.

Members receive a weekly basket of FARM-FRESH, LOCAL, CHEMICAL-FREE vegetables, berries, melons and herbs, from May to November. Farming brothers Andrew and Reuben Habegger are dedicated to growing the most pure, most nutritionally dense produce and are always trying to learn more methods to bring the healthiest food our way, always grown free of all synthetic chemicals.
See highlights below and details in the attached Brochure and Sign up Form. Also attached, find our Anticipated Harvest Chart, which gives an idea of what to expect as we go through the season, and comments from past Eco-Gardens CSA Members. (NOTE: you'll need to e-mail me or Lisa for the attachments.)

Please help pass this along to any friends, groups or businesses who may be interested.
Thank you so much!
