Happy New Year!  My favorite way to spend New Year's Day is to sift through the stack of seed catalogs that have flooded my mailbox for the past month, and get the bulk of the year's seed order placed.  About 75% of what I grow every year are tried-and-true favorite varieties, but I always love to try a few new things, too.  And it's selecting those new items that always takes me the longest.  It's really easy to get caught up in the shiny photos and slick descriptions of new or unusual varieties.  But whether or not a new crop or variety makes the cut always boils down to just three questions...Is it likely to grow well here?  Can I physically fit it in somewhere on this little farm?  And most importantly, will anyone buy it?  As soon as the seed orders are in, it's time to start planting again.  Before the end of the week, I'll start filling endless flats with seeds that will eventually grow into your spring and summer vegetables.  My little winter lull is just about over.  Let the farming begin again!

It is also time to start getting your memberships in for the 2013 CSA.  There are plenty of shares available this year for new members!  Subscriptions are available on a first-come, first-served basis until we are full.  Please note that we always fill up very quickly!    You'll find details about our CSA here.  You'll find a link to download the current membership form at the bottom of the page. 

Current CSA members: if you have not already renewed for 2013, and intend to do so, there's no need to rush a check into the mailbox this afternoon.  We will reserve a spot for you if you let me know that you plan to sign on again.

If the CSA is not for you, that's fine!  We appreciate all our customers' business, no matter how you choose to buy.  This year we will also continue to offer produce through the Raleigh Downtown Farmers Market (Wednesdays, April - October).  And the Midtown Farmers Market (Saturdays, April - October.  Yes, they've shortened the season for 2013, but we plan to be available to you year-round by participating in the off-season pick-up next winter.  You are also more than welcome to purchase here at the farm year-round should you live in the area or ever find yourself visiting nearby.
