Important Market Info! 3/5/10

Just a quick reminder, please contact your senator via e-mail to get legislation passed in Florida that would allow farmers to sell directly to consumers without overburdensome licensing requirements. I know your busy but please make the time to call your Florida Senator and House Rep and ask them to support this bill to strengthen Florida’s economics and improve our food security.  Contact Mark Casson of Green Acres Farm for more information or if you need help finding your district at: 850-327-3083 mjcasson@frontiernet.net

I also wanted to include this notes from Cindy Anderson with the Buyers club:
“We are very close to having all the info we believe you will need to make the final decision on if this CSA is for you.  We have several farmers and feel like we can provide you with a diverse, tasty box of produce for about 28 weeks of the year starting in mid April.  If you are still interested, could you please reply and provide your zip code.  We are lastly, locating drop off points and would like to know where most of you live to ensure we are providing spots that are convenient to you.  Also know we have decided to only provide 50 boxes this first year and have more than 50 of you on this list.  We will have to go on a first come, first pay basis.  We will have those final numbers as soon as we determine how many drop off points work best to meet your needs (how far does the truck have to drive).”  Please contact Cindy Anderson at canderson@teamsantarosa.com if you’re interested or for more information!!
