Teachers College, Columbia University

Join Just Food at its 10th Annual CSA in NYC Conference to celebrate the growth of CSA in New York City from one CSA in 1995 to 100 in 2010. The day will bring together more than 300 CSA members, farmers, food activists, and people interested in local food for a day of workshops and conversation.

Farmer Panel:
The afternoon farm panel will provide attendees the opportunity to ask CSA farmers questions about regional agriculture and to get their perspectives on CSA. Joining us this year will be:

- Galen and Schuyler Ballantine of The Ant Hill Farm
- Deborah Kavakos of Stoneledge Farm
- Fred Lee of Sang Lee Farms.

EXPO and Reception:
The conference will conclude with a reception and expo, featuring New York City's best purveyors of local food and drinks.

Due to an unfortunate glitch, too many half shares were sold for the Yorkville site.   If you have signed up for  half share and would like to alternate weeks with a partner, please post up a comment here.  Alternating weeks means you would pick up a full share every other week instead of picking up a half share every week.

One full share is cheaper than two half shares.  Anyone who currently has a half share and agrees to alternate weeks with a partner will get a $37.50 refund.

If you are signing up for the Lenox Hill Neighborhood House CSA for the 2010 season and need a partner to split a full vegetable or fruit share, please post your contact information in the comments section and that way you can contact each other directly!

Stoneledge is in its member-renewal period for the 2010 season.  For the Yorkville CSA, this period will last until Jan 15.  At that time memberships will be opened to the waitlist and shares will sell out very quickly.  Visit www.stonelegefarmny.org and follow the links for CSA registration using the username and password previously emailed out.  If you are a current member and need the login information, please contact us.

Our farm family continues to grow and we are thankful for everyone that has worked with us this past season.  The men that work on the farm, Julian, Juan, Geo, Arturo will be leaving on Wednesday to return to their families in Mexico and we thank them for their hard work and dedication to the farm. We look forward to their return next spring.

Enjoy the holidays ahead.  We are reminded daily of the wonders that the earth has to offer and we thank you for being part of Stoneledge Farm.

Deborah, Pete, Peter, Jen, Arliss, Juan, Julian, Arturo, Geo
