Who could resist?
We are delighted to be returning members of Enterprise Farm's winter share. This farm, in South Deerfield, Massachusetts, distributes produce to many members in Massachusetts throughout the winter months, when our own stores have grown thin. This year, they are proud to be distributing about 50% New England produce in these shares, with the rest coming from small, organic farms from New York to Florida. We are amazed to see how they have grown during the past year and encourage our fellow Mass residents to join! At first, we wondered how "local" this was, but after seeing the grocery store food from Mexico, California, and Chile that's available to us in the winter, we decided this was a fantastic option.
Our first distribution was joyous, since we had about a month between our last Waltham Fields pick-up and the Enterprise Farm box. It was tough to go back to the grocery store after eating farm-fresh veggies all summer. When the box arrives and we pick it up at The Dairy Bar in Davis Square, it's like opening treasure to see what we will find! The share is accompanied by an e-letter containing farm news and recipes. It's pretty amazing to think of the network of small farmers whose land provides us with our veggies each week.
Susan can't contain her glee!
Hopefully Enterprise Farm will be among those who present their CSAs at the Somerville Library on January 11. This is a meeting organized by Somerville Climate Action and Transition Somerville, and is for anyone interested in joining CSAs that deliver in Somerville! Info: Community Supported Agriculture Fair & Film: The Power of Community, Monday, January 11th, 5:30pm to 9:00pm, Somerville Public Library, 79 Highland Avenue, Somerville.
