A warm welcome from northern KY, Karen! You're gonna love it here!

Awww, thanks! Kathy recommended this website to me in our search for our CSA Farmer. It is a great site. As I am not a farmer, much is over my head, but I have a personal intereste in the comsumption of organic/local eating. If I can't grow it, I will pay good money to eat it!
And of course, if anyone knows a farmer that is immediately available for a job in Godfrey, IL....here's our job description! (Taking every opportunity to spread the word....we only need one farmer!)
Please, Please spread the word. I need my local veges and I am passionate about our CSA. Our past 2 farmers have gone on to owning their own farms with organic farming and we are very proud of that. We LOVE that in the past 8 years, our local community has grown to supporting over 300 "shares" of local organic produce.
Thanks Again Everyone!
