Hello Gwynedd Knoll -
It is that time of year again - Progressive Dinner Time!!! We are very excited to get everyone together again this year and it will follow a similar format as the dinner last year - heavy appetizers/drinks at one house and another house for dessert.  The dinner is scheduled for March 24, 2012 at 6:30 (for heavy appetizers) and 9:00 (for dessert). First, we need 2 families willing to host us for both portions of the evening. If you host, you do not need to provide any food. For the rest of the participants - the theme is Around the World. Please bring a heavy appetizer or dessert and a drink to share from a specific country. We have created a Google Doc for sign up/rsvp purposes. The link is below. Please sign up accordingly. Just type in the document as if you were typing on any program. The Google Doc automatically saves and all participants can view your changes. If you bring an appetizer, do not sign up for dessert, if you bring a dessert, do not sign up for appetizer, but drinks should accompany whatever you bring. Be creative! We will certainly need more appetizers than dessert. Also, please do not repeat if possible.

If you have any questions please contact any of us. Can't wait to see you all there!!

Dear neighbors,
Please see the note below from Lori, a neighbor of ours. She has information about getting the freshest vegetables around! Please read the note to the bottom...I just noticed that there is a deadline of Feb 3 for one of the offers. So sorry I did not get this out earlier - please hurry to decide if you are interested.
Thank you!

Hi Carol-- Would you pass this on to the neighbors?  Thanks!  Lori
------
I am bringing this to your attention again because this spring, I am hosting the Gwynedd site for the Lancaster Farm Fresh CSA. 

In a nutshell, you pay up front for the spring and summer season, then you get a weekly delivery of organic vegetables, varying according to what is harvested that week.  The vegetables are harvested the day before you get it.  You can't get any fresher than that!  And, it's so convenient, now that there is a Gwynedd Knoll pickup site.  

I've purchased a half-share of vegetables and a full-share of fruit.   I love the fact that I've been exposed to vegetables I'd never even heard of before.  All the science supports that eating a wide variety of vegetables offers the best nutrition.  I hope you will give some serious thought to this, because it is not only good for your health, but good for the environment, as well.

If anyone has questions they can contact the CSA directly, or I would be happy to guide you through the process.  They have a website and a Facebook page, so anyone can take a look there, too.

This is greatly helpful to me!" - Annette G. "We were absolutely thrilled with everything. All of the vegetables in the box were fresh, crisp, and hugely flavorful. These vegetables really were grown locally, right out of the earth, and they're about as fresh as you can get them if you're not living right on the farm. Thank you so much! We hope to be part of the CSA group for many years to come." - Emily & John D. "My four year old son asked me to send this message to the farmer: 'Thank you for sending me nectarines. They are very sweet and yummy.' Thanks!" - Sherri C.      LANCASTER FARM FRESH COOPERATIVE A NON-PROFIT ORGANIC FARMERS CO-OP 717.656.3533     CSA@LANCASTERFARMFRESH.COM
