Apple shares now on sale

Boardjuly1This 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.
Crystal Spring members should send a check in the mail to:

Heirloom Harvest
P.O. 1031, Westborough, MA 01581

Shareholders who pickup at the farm site can send it to the same address, or give your check to the distribution coordinator.
