West Harlem CSA Farm Visit - August 28th-30th

This year's farm gathering for all Windflower Farm shareholders will take place during the August 28th-30th weekend.  It's timed to allow us all to attend the county fair on Sunday before going home (www.washingtoncountyfair.com) and the best swimming conditions on the Battenkill River (for those who arrive Friday PM or early Saturday).  Ted Blomgren, our farmer, will organize some farm tours at Windflower Farm (vegetables, berries and flowers) and at nearby Elihu Farm (egg share), and Lewis-Waite Farm (meats, etc.) for mid-day Saturday and Sunday morning.  We'll have a potluck meal on Saturday evening, followed by a hay ride to an overlook and a bon fire.  Windflower Farm can offer camping at a site that offers running water, nice outhouses, a grill, ice chests, and limited refrigerator space.  Please bring your own tent and sleeping bag if you would like to camp.  There are also a number of hotels and bed and breakfasts in the area around Valley Falls, where the farm is located.  The farm will host breakfast for everyone on Sunday.  The CSA is committed to making this trip affordable for everyone, and we will be coordinating transportation as well.  When you RSVP, please indicate whether you will be camping or staying at hotel, because we need a head count for the camping site.
