It's cold and winter is definately here now, but your farmers are still busy planning to make this next season better than the last with more of the great tasting, fresh vegetables that you want. We are still accepting CSA members for the 2010 season, but it is starting to fill up, so get your name in as soon as you can to gaurantee your vegetable share.
If you are getting a craving for some local vegetables, we have two winter markets planned for this week. We will have eggs, honey, walnuts, squashes, white potatoes, heirloom potatoes, spinach, celery root and more produce as well as granola, stromboli, breads, and samples from our value added producer. You will also have a chance to meet some of the great farmers who grow the food in your shares.
Our first pre-holiday market is this Saturday, December 19, at the Forest Park Nature Center just off Rt29 north of Peoria. It will begin at 10am and end at 2pm.
The second market will be on Monday, December 21, at OSF hospital in Peoria. It will begin at 8am and end at 3pm or until we are sold out. Set up will be in their alcove near the old center of hospital near the front entrance elevators.
We hope to see you there!
