Winter Hibernation

We finally find time to write a few things!  John hosted the apple tasting at Ovid Library – 21 varieties of apples.  We  hope everyone also enjoyed Three Stone Farm’s popcorn/maple syrup balls, Muranda Farm’s cheeses, and Lively Run Goat Dairy’s cheese.  Not to mention all those apple pies!  It was a tasty day.

As part of  the final CSA share members received quince.  This is an unnamed variety that was unsprayed and unloved this past season – and they look it!  Quince is used throughout the world in meat sauces, sliced thinly and cooked briefly to soften, and as a fragrant addition to the house. 

We have put out the email for current CSA members to rejoin.  Please do so by mid November.  On November 20th we will offer remaining shares to people who signed up for information this past season.

We are currently taking orders for fruit trees and fruit plants for 2011.  We will begin selling at the Ithaca Farmer’s Market in April 2011 offering trees and plants, duck eggs, jam and jelly. 

We are also seeking an intern for the 2011 season.  Anyone who is interested should send an email for more information.
