Greetings Friends!
We made it! Here it is week 20, and we are planning our final drops of the season. For those who didn't catch it, we are doing all of them this week on Tuesday! We hope to have a driver in Thief River Falls at about 10:30am at your usual meeting point.
As for the contents of the box this week, it will be a total surprise! Being the end of the season, the quantities are not as large as they are in the peak of the season, and we are trying to not have any waste. Usually, the boxes are exactly the same, according to the size of share, but this week, the boxes will be loaded with items as they are available. We will be starting at one end of the row, filling with amounts that seem reasonable for each box, and going back and forth until items run out. This means that each box should get a usable amount of each item that they do receive, but may not receive as many items as we would usually put in the boxes. We hope to have a variety of things that will last you a bit longer.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Stacy! We are looking forward to next season already, and would love to hear your feedback before the big planning starts. Drop a letter in the mail (if you haven't done so already!) or send an email, and we will take your words into consideration. We have quite a few who have shown interest for next season, and that is encouraging to us. This season was full of learning experiences for all of us and are hoping for an even better year next year.
The blog will continue throughout the off season with updates as we have them. I will share news of things we plan to do, things we want to change from this season, and odds and ends news about all of us involved. I also hope to continue to add recipes and even start finding nutritional information so that everyone can understand why we choose to offer many of the items that are grown on the farm.
Don't forget to bring all of your empty boxes to your drop points tomorrow and to use a container/box/bag from home for your produce!
Stacy

This cooperative venture is a new experience and we did not know what to expect. It has been a good experience. Everyone has been helpful. We have enjoyed all the produce, the greens in the spring were especially good. We have been introduced to a few items new to us. That is always good. We always had a big garden and thought we were familiar with Minn. produce. Thanks for a good summer
