Yes, MailChimp is free, and is great for
newsletter format. And folks can opt in and out. And you can
identify/sort folks by various criteria (CSA, day of week, route, etc) and send
to all or a subset. The first time it is a little confusing, but after
that very easy. You can also do the body of the newsletter in Word still and
paste it in. You can use one of their default “templates” or
make your own. You can also have the newsletter automatically copy into
Facebook and probably others that I don’t pay attention to. Beth Spaugh http://rhomestead.com

[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Shanti Rade I use constant contact to send out weekly availability lists.
This is more for a newsletter type informative email for customers. I do
include a weekly availability list, recipes, a small farm update and lots of
photos. Customers love it and its a great way to highlight whatever you need
sell a lot of, its amazing how a little photo/story feature really helps
sell something. People can also opt in or out of the emails themselves.
There is a monthly fee, but I think there are others out there that are free
(mail chimp?). It doesn't work for making on line orders either.
But the format is very nice and its user friendly. This might not be what
you are looking for, just thought I would throw it out there.
