This week starts Gene’s Greens Fall CSA! Honey subscriptions and Artisan Goods subscriptions are going out this week. The first artisan good going out is a cobbler crisp!
You can subscribe to receive a huge flower bouquet every week, for the next four weeks. Flower subscriptions do not require a produce order!
If you’re new to Gene’s Greens, I am here to answer any questions you have. If you’re signing up for the whole Fall and any other subscriptions, please have payments in this week. If using paypal, use the friends & family option when paying, otherwise it will add a fee for us, which is unnecessary because we’ll send refunds for any reason.
Thank you for an amazing summer session! We’re looking forward to bringing you the best Maryland has to offer this Fall. Your support really helps our budding farm thrive, and ensures long-term viability and growth! Supporting our CSA program provides a stable, predictable income that allows us to invest in sustainable practices and lets us grow items you’ll have a hard time finding anywhere else.
We are busy making preparations for the Fall, including getting mums and pumpkins ready, making sauces and baked goods that are already becoming available on the list, and making dried flower and hot peppers arrangements!
Fall sign-ups are now available! As summer winds down and the days start to shorten, it’s the perfect time to savor the last of the season’s bounty while transitioning into fall. Incorporating a farm-fresh delivery into your routine ensures you’re still enjoying vibrant, seasonal produce even as the weather changes. It’s a great way to keep your meals fresh and exciting, and to support your local farmer who brings the best of each season right to your door. By signing up for the whole fall, you’ll receive a discount equal to getting a delivery for free, plus have access to add-ons at an additional discount from the usual price. If you need to skip a week, we’ll send two boxes of food to your local food bank.
If you would like to sign up, please just let me know and I’ll put you down. When payment is received, you’ll be all set!
Please help us spread the word about Fall sign-ups! I have collected all of the yard signs and am ready to spread them out in other locations. If you would like to put out a sign it would be greatly appreciated. Posting our e-flier to online groups and passing around our paper brochure is sure to help. We pay for ads in some places, but nothing works better than word of mouth!
The next two months are very busy, so we’re in need of a little extra help in exchange for some of the bounty. We’re looking for people to work 3-4 hours on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. Some of the tasks include picking flowers and veggies, pulling out old crops and planting new, weeding, mowing, and making deliveries. In exchange you will receive veggies, eggs, flowers, plants–anything you can find on the farm you can take home!
Please have your order in by 6 pm Tuesday and add some additional choices to your list, just in case. Have a great week!
