This past week was a long distribution, as the two gentlemen who came to pick their shares up near 2 PM can testify (both of you should email Karin Green and let her know your names so she can credit your volunteer time). Our newest member Jessica Adamowicz and her mom Barbara turned up to help along with a neighbor of one of our shareholders. Sherry and her son Andrew showed up to pick up their neighbor’s share around 1 PM then stayed for 2 hours to help . We were so greatful for the extra hands and touched at the commitment they showed. They even offered to come back with Andrew’s brother in the future for another round! Chris Rearwin and her son Eric and Julie Micks, regular seasoned volunteers who help out every week, rounded out the group of volunteers who worked with the growers to get your vegetables into the proper boxes this week.
New faces and more hands are always welcome. Stop on by some Thursday morning around 11 AM and we’ll show you the ropes.
Thursdays are very busy at Silvermine Farm! Martha Cole could use some help early in the day to harvest produce for the CSA boxes. Then the distribution crew can always use extra hands between 11 and 1, when produce is washed, weighed, bunched or bagged and distributed to your boxes. It’s a lot of work, but with our dedicated crew of volunteers, it’s a lot of fun, too, and a great chance to catch up with your growers and meet fellow CSA members. Please consider putting in a couple hours of volunteer time on Thursdays! Contact Martha Cole to sign up.
