I know there's a lot of overlap between members of this market-farming
group and the CSAFarmers group, but I wanted to put the word out to both groups
just in case there were folks who weren't on both lists. I'm working
on polishing up the "how to define a CSA" language that we got started
a few weeks ago on the CSAFarmers list. I hope to have it ready to send to
the group this afternoon. That language, though not finalized or
perfect, might be something useful when folks are trying to spread the word
about what they do, how they do it and why folks would want to
participate.
I'm also working on the language for how CSAs differ from food hubs,
farmers markets, and other distribution models. I may or may not be
finished with all those other definitions this afternoon. But I'm working
on it. If not today, it'll be tomorrow or Saturday. It's taken way
more time and effort than expected to compile all the comments made on this
topic over the last few weeks. But I think (hope) it'll be helpful as
folks try to figure out how best to spread the word. I also hope that our
discussions will continue for how to put the best polish on the language for
each term. But I'll at least have something to start with, which was
compiled from what everyone has already sent along the way. More to come
in the next few hours.......
PS - some of you will recall that I sent out a quickie note about a
week ago about being smacked in the face by my horse. Turns out I had a
mild concussion. Went to have it checked out after five days of symptoms
like dizziness, headaches and drowsiness. Thankfully, no hidden time bombs
to worry about. Just a request from the ER doctor that I take it easy and
let things heal without pushing so hard. I think farmers are more
prone to just "tough out" various injuries and keep working. In my case,
trying to keep up the pace was only slowing down my recovery. If anyone on
either list ever gets a good knock to the brainpan, please go have it checked,
and give yourself permission to slow down at least a little. I'm glad I
did.
