Week 6 Notes for Members: MEMBER WORKDAY ON SATURDAY

FRUIT SHARE NOTICE
Two-thirds of the orchards in New York were damaged by frost and/or hail this spring. So, unfortunately there isn't any fruit available for this week’s delivery. Yonder Farms, our fruit supplier, lost their sweet cherries to frost and their early pears to the hail. Next week we will be back on track with apricots and/or peaches. Thank you for your understanding.


MEMBER WORKDAY
Come join us for the garlic harvest this coming Saturday (July 12). We will start the workday around 10:00 am and work until the crew is tired. We usually break for a potluck lunch around 12:30 pm. Join us for the whole day, part of the day, or just the potluck. Members of all ages are welcome. Please bring a potluck dish, your place settings, water bottle, and sunscreen. Come dressed to get dirty. The workday will be at the South Farm location near the farm office. Hope to see you there!


BLACK CURRANTS
You can order a half-pint or full pint of black currants from Heron’s Roost Farm, which is located in Southern Columbia County. The currants have never been sprayed or fertilized with synthetic fertilizer. Look for order forms at your pickup site or online at www.roxburyfarm.com. Orders will be delivered next week with your vegetable share.

We certainly understand about the lack of fruit for this week. The great thing about a CSA is that we all share the risk and we all share the benefits. Thanks so much for the good work you all do!
