Greetings!

Just wanted to send everyone a quick hello! We're so excited that the start of our CSA program and farmstand is almost here! A couple important things I would like everyone to do:
  1. Install our app! It will (eventually) be linked with our weekly newsletters, have recipe links, and will send important notifications (like hey! we are are running early or late, or we have an abundance of something and it's on sale!) you get the idea! Password for the CSA area is farm2018
Iphone users- get the app here

Android Users- download it here

2. We also have created a private Facebook group just for our CSA members- where you can see video farm tours, photos, and other helpful information as well.


3. We have 2 spaces left for our meat share.



A few things we have found to aid in your CSA or farmstand experience:

Olive oil
Vinegar (all kinds are useful, but if you're short on pantry space, we recommend Balsamic, white and apple cider vinegar's)
Salt & Pepper
A box grater (I have used mine way more than I have ever thought!)
A good recipe website: Even though we provide you with recipes, there are soooo many ways to prepare different vegetables, even just a Google search can get you in the right direction!
An OPEN MIND! you may be experiencing some new veggies that you have either never tried or possible never even seen before! Even though we offer a swap table, we believe half the fun of the CSA program is trying new things 😊


What's new in the shop?
Did we mention that our CSA members receive a 10% discount on everything in the shop as well? Great timing as we are bringing in lots of new items! The "good old standby's" remain- Arethusa ice cream and cheeses, our spice line, pastas, maple syrup & honey- but other products that have caught our eye over the off season are arriving! Taza chocolates is a small chocolatier in Massachusetts that creates stone ground dark chocolate organically sourced directly from cacoa farmers in Mexico.

Our relationship with Harney & Son's Tea in Millerton NY is continuing and we have added many new tea blends, including iced teas; as well as an organic line of juice, soda and sparkling water. These should all be arriving next week!

Since we started carrying tea, everyone has been asking for coffee. Thanks- in part, to our good friend Carole Peck, she has introduced us to Saccuzzo Coffee Company- which roasts, grinds, and blends their coffee beans right in CT!


Amanda's "New" Adventure
Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere!
But I would like to introduce everyone to
a company called Beautycounter. Their mission is simple: "To get safer beauty products into the hands of everyone"

Being married to a farmer, and running the CSA program for 6 years now, I have realized how important it is for so many of us to eat healthy and know how our food is raised. Over the past few years Mike & I have been struggling to grow our family and we have been going through the IVF process for almost a year now. Writing this seems almost strange- infertility seems like the topic that's "taboo" to talk about- but it affects so many women (and men!) that I think it's time to talk about it! In a nutshell, this is why I decided to join Beautycounter- after being so conscious about what goes into my body- isn't it time I start thinking about what goes ON my body as well? Over 1500 harmful or questionable ingredients have been left out of their products- AND they actually work. I would love to share more with you! Learn more about The Never List on my website here and what little things you can do to make the switch to cleaner and safer beauty. I'd also love for you to join me on Wednesday, June 20th at 7:00 pm to sample and see their products in person! (I'll bring the wine!)

~Eat Healthy, BE Healthy!
