What is the buying club?

The buying club is set up for those of you who only want farm fresh produce and meats or other farm products without having to subscribe to a CSA. It was also set up so that our CSA members can add to their weekly share. CSA Members will be automatically joined to the buying club with their membership.

Current CSA Members should be receiving their passwords within the next 24 hours. If you are a CSA member and do not receive your password by Sunday February 21, 2010 please contact us to request your password.

In one of the worst decisions in U.S. history, the Supreme Court recently ruled that big corporations have the same First Amendment rights as people. This decision has opened the floodgates to unlimited political spending by big corporations.1

To fully undo the damage, Congress must pass a constitutional amendment overturning this terrible decision.

So, we're aiming to send thousands of faxes to members of Congress urging them to close the floodgates of unlimited corporate cash. Can you send a free fax to Senator Harry Reid today? Click here to send a fax now:

The USDA is well on its way to approving Monsanto's GE alfalfa. In its own report, the USDA acknowledges the problem with contamination but says that consumers may not care enough about it for the USDA to block Monsanto's modified alfalfa seeds. [1] This is absurd since one of the main reasons people buy organic food is to avoid genetically engineered crops.

The USDA is only accepting public comments for the next two weeks. We need you to write to the USDA right now and tell them they must not approve Monsanto's mutant alfalfa.[2]

FRESH will deliver your comments before the deadline.

Just like its corn and soy, Monsanto's alfalfa is designed to tolerate its leading herbicide: Roundup. We can't allow Monsanto's greed to take-over one more crop. The consequences to our choice as consumer, to biological diversity, to the survival of our small and organic farmers depends are too dire.

Write your comments to the USDA now and say no to genetically modified alfalfa.

Monsanto's domination of our food must stop. For the USDA to shrug it off like nobody cares is to add insult to injury. We only have two weeks to submit our comments. The fight for FRESH food will continue, and with your help we'll make it clear that people care about the food they eat.

Thanks for all you do.

FARM HAPPENINGS

Some good things have been happening here this last week.The hens have doubled the egg production, just a little sun and they get excited. We received our second shipment of new chicks, looks like there will be plenty of eggs this summer.

Today was delivery day for the new poultry processing equipment. everything is new scalder, plucker, chill tanks, and scales. No more spending hours plucking birds. We will now be able to do the job in a quarter of the time we used to.We will never have to turn away people who want chickens simply because of time. Don’t be alarmed the birds will be just as juicy and tasty as always. We will also be offering Ducks and Geese for the Holiday season along with our Heritage Turkey.
