About our program, from a member:

"It was really convenient and we hope to do it again next year. We hardly had to go produce-shopping, and it was a nice challenge (though it hardly felt difficult) to use up all our produce in a week."

Another comment from a member that makes us so happy we do what we do:

"I can't say enough about the quality and variety in the veggie shares, and in the fruit shares too. And I absolutely love the fresh eggs."

Hi folks,

A member emailed me saying that she found a pea-sized stone in her frozen peas, and so I just wanted to send everyone a warning to watch out for stones.  This is something that I believe is somewhat common with mechanical harvest; many of the baked bean recipes I read warn to rinse the beans and watch for bean-sized stones.  Ours we're picked by hand and shelled mechanically, so I hope this is just an isolated incident and that the rest of you won't have any problems, but I wanted to save your teeth just in case.

I recommend letting the peas thaw a little before dumping into your cooking so that you are able to have a good look through them.

Please let me know if you have questions or issues with your frozen peas.

Thanks!

Teri

A member describes her shares:

"I absolutely loved the veggie and friut shares. I was impressed with the variety. There are lots of apples - but hey, we live in Nova Scotia. We love apples and I like the fact that the variety of apples change so you don't get bored with one type. You have to learn to eat with the seasons which is something I have liked learning."

11 days until the beginning of our 2013-14 season, which we are ambitious about being the best yet!!

Here's why we do it:

"(Member who receives an Entree Veggie Share): This past year the green peppers were amazing! We loved them. We love the veggies that we can eat raw - but in general we like everyuthing that comes. I don't always use the kholrabi or the turnip - but we try! Also - some fruit in the veggie share is always appreciated when in season.
