Apple shares now on sale
This year we will again be offering our apple share
program. The apples are provided by Autumn Hills Orchard in Groton, and
delivered each week to the farmsite where members will be able to pick up their
apples. Crystal Spring apple shares will be delivered with the regular CSA
shares. Autumn Hills Orchard is not organic, but uses Integrated Pest Management
techniques to ensure as little spraying and use of pesticides as
possible.
The apple share program will run for nine weeks, beginning around the third week of August, and continuing until the end of the CSA season. Each week, shareholders will receive a half-peck bag of apples. Some varieties will be modern, some heirloom. Occassionally, other fruit is place in the bags, such as peaches or grapes.
The cost of the program is $62. Please pay be check
made out to Heirloom Harvest, and I will forward the fee to the apple farmer. Be
sure to add a notation on the check that it is for an apple share.
