A big thank you to those who were able to come out at the last minute. Plans changed but a big job was made enjoyable with the community support! No pictures of us digging since we were all focused on getting it done (like real farmers!). Topping and bagging went so fast! Even the cows enjoyed the harvest with treat of carrot tops!

Winter csa members who would like to order potatoes please let me know how much you want before the end of October. Ben and Bonnie Cameron have been growing organic potatoes on their farm just southeast of Durham for many years, and I’ve gotten them for the winter shares since my scale and equipment limitations make potatoes not a practical crop for me. They said they have an excellent crop this year. They grow a yellow (Yukon Gold and Sante) and a red skinned white fleshed potato. They charge $1.25/lb.

I will pick up the potatoes and store them in the farm root cellar. You can pick them up each time you get your winter share (every other week from early November to late February). There will be 9 or 10 distribution days, and say you think you’d eat around 3lbs of potatoes every two weeks you should order 30lbs for $37.50. Decide how much yellow or red you’d like and let me know before the end of October. Ideally you could pay for them too by e-transfer or cash at the last main season pick-up.

Send me your order to saugeenrivercsa@gmail.com or reply here. If you reply here please include your full name since this website doesn’t tell me who replies.

Any questions, let me know,

Cory
