The harvest season is about to start! Next Thursday, June 2, is our first distribution of 2011 and we’re celebrating a new year of fresh, local fruits and vegetables with an opening day picnic and party. Local musician Scott Sylvester will be playing his songs while you pick up your share. We hope you’ll stick around to hang out, eat and enjoy an evening with friends and neighbors.

Please bring a blanket and picnic dinner. This isn’t a potluck, so all you need is food for yourself and your crew. Farm Spot will provide drinks, cups, paper plates, napkins and plastic cutlery (feel free to bring your own utensils, cups, etc. if you’d like to cut down on the evening’s trash).

The party runs from 5:30 to 8:00, same hours as the distribution. Looking forward to seeing you there!
We welcome any other musicians who are interested in performing. E-mail us at farmspot@gmail.com if you are interested.


We’re using VolunteerSpot, an online sign-up and reminder tool, to schedule our distribution volunteer shifts.  Please sign up now — here’s how it works in 3 easy steps:
