      Winter CSA Notes:
Thank you for your interest in our Winter Shares! This season has been especially tough on the farm and our family but we have survived thanks to the generosity and support of the 231 families that are members of Paisley Farm CSA. As part of our transition into the 2012 season Paisley Farm is once again offering a a winter CSA box. For those members who have not participated in the winter CSA it's a great way to eat local and support the farm in the winter months. It's also a nice way to see your CSA friends and stay in touch with your local site and events. The pick up will be every other week for a twelve week period starting early January until late March. The share comes pre-packed in a sturdy bushel box with handles for easy transport. You simply go to your neighborhood site, pick up your share and start enjoying the local selection we have assembled for you!

Winter CSA: A winter CSA might seem like something for warm climates, but its value is even more important to us in the northeast as we try to keep our eating local and seasonal. As we move through the gift of the seasons, we also get the pleasure to share these farm goodies with all of you. Our Winter CSA for 2012 will be exciting, delicious, and with enough options to keep you eating from the land and supporting local agriculture all the way until summer (when we begin again with our famous heirloom tomatoes!)

cost: $300 per share

Cheese: Some of the farms we will be offering cheese for our CSA will include Lively Run Goat Dairy (Interlaken, NY), Hawthorne Valley Farm (Harlemville, NY), Amazing Real Live Food (Pine Plains NY), Sprout Creek Farm (Poughkeepsie, NY), Old Chatham Sheep Herding Company (Old Chatham, NY), Nittle Meadow Farm (Warren Buz, NY), and Brovetto Dairy (Harpersfield, NY).

cost: $95 per cheese share

Pork: The past few years have seen a huge influx in the trendy-ness of pork...but good pork? That is a story all until itself as farm raised, humane and clean pork has a juicy bite and our choice farm raises their pigs with plenty of Hudson Valley apples to eat leading to succulent and sweet tasting pork. With two size choices this year, we are happy to offer such high quality meat at a fair price delivered right to you alongside your winter CSA shares! But.... this is first come, first serve! There are also so many pork shares! Get your orders in for this special nose-to-tail option!

cost:   $275 per option 1 pork share including  &     $325  per option 2 pork share including

Forager: You all saw Mike talking ramps in the NYTimes last spring, and many of you also probably waiting in lines at markets for bunches of ramps priced very high...well, for the forager in all of us comes a locavore and food lovers dream share. Complete with ramps every week, nettles, fiddlehead ferns, morels and other spring surprises, this share is directly from our Paisley Farm lands! As a special treat, we will also have a ramp harvest day allowing for members to come enjoy the fresh air, get your hands dirty and dig your own ramps! More information for any and all events will be available into spring.

Joining our Winter CSA means you get to make a conscious difference in how we eat, where food comes from and supporting those who produce your food fairly, from each and every season. The Winter CSA this year will be delivered every other week for 12 weeks (delivery dates are below) and will include the following: .Our great winter selection including honey, maple syrup from our farm, roots, garlic, eggs, green house greens, winter squash, apples, onions, cider, currant juice, Hawthorne Valley sauerkraut and kim chi, organic dried grains and beans from the Finger Lakes. There will also be recipes on the blog that correlate with shares as we move through the winter season!
