Dear CSA Members,
Yesterday I told you about the death the Alfaro Family (the family that works with us) is experiencing. Your emails of kind thoughts and prayers have poured in-your willingness to come together as a community and help the farm and step up for the Alfaro family is just wonderful.
So we've decided based upon the email help we've recv'd to go ahead with next week shares without our crew. Here's what we need from you. Please do not feel bad if you are not able to help. We should be ok based upon the amount of members that are offering to come out.
If you are able to come out and help on Saturday 8/30 Danny will organize some mass picking -like potatoes, onions. Monday 9/1- Labor Day we'll need as many people as we can to help prepare for Tuesday & Wednesday shares. If you can come please know you can arrive as early as 8am- we'll need help up until we finish come early, come later -just come. Pack a lunch, wear comfortable clothes you will probably get wet & or dirty. Mud boots or shoes you don't care about. Hats are a must in the prep area or you'll have to wear a hair net. We have gloves & aprons for adults.
Just to confirm we are going ahead with next week shares. CSA members and farmers are going to need to step up to help our food community here. I'm confident we can!
Thank you again for all your kind emails. I will print them off and give them to the Alfaro family when they return.
A very special thank you to my husband Danny for really stepping up and picking everything besides the tomatoes that went into Fridays shares this week. We both feel we owe to the the Alfaro family, a family that is SO close, and so hard working to take care of the business at hand.
If I could just share one thing I really want everyone to know about them-is that they are the closest, happiest family I have ever met. Anyone that has been out here helping, and has had lunch on the porch with us knows what I am talking about. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.
Thank you again for being the BEST csa members we've ever had. This is one great group!!
Sincerely,
Danny & Michelle
Maple Creek Farm
