Greetings from the Farm,
We know your fridge has to be empty, and if you haven’t made it to the store, we can help you restock from your couch! We have some brand-new items from Harvest Symphony, including some AMAZING gluten-free muffins to get you started on that New Year New You!
This Weeks Cycle: The Online Farm Store is open for business! Place your order before 12pm on Sunday, January 1st for fulfillment on January 4th and 5th.
Ringing in the New Year: As the 2022 Winter CSA season winds down, we only have two distributions remaining: Jan. 4/5 and Jan. 18/19. There’s been a lot of adjustments to our CSA program this year, and we appreciate your patience and flexibility as we’ve endured staffing changes, found our footing on Barn2Door and reopened the Farm Stand in the Grange. The Farm Team would love to hear any feedback you have regarding this year’s program as we begin to prepare for 2023! Please respond to this email with any comments, or send us an email at farm@willowsfordfarm.com
Giving Back: The Farm produced a lot of food this year, including all sorts of greens, peppers, tomatoes, roots, herbs and a never-ending bounty of eggs! Most of our crop went into CSA shares, custom orders and Farm Stand displays, but what about the extra? Throughout the year, we’ve noted that any unclaimed shares and over abundance would be donated to Loudoun Hunger Relief, a local group dedicated to reducing food insecurity in Loudoun County. We’re happy to report that we donated an average of 150 pounds per week of farm fresh produce and eggs that went directly to supporting our local community. More information about Loudoun Hunger Relief and the good that they do can be found on their website
Reminder: Winter CSA distribution has shifted to Wednesday and Thursday. Pick Up will be next Wednesday (Jan 4) at the Boathouse and Farm Stand. Home Delivery South will be next Wednesday Jan 4 and Home Delivery North will be Thurs Jan 5. If you aren’t sure which fulfillment option you selected, please email farm@willowsfordfarm.com!
