Shares full

That was fast!

All of our shares filled up within the first few days.  We still have to iron out which orders get the last few slots, but to be sure, if you haven't faxed or mailed your order by now, I'm afraid we cannot accept your order.  We have emailed everyone whose order arrived by Tuesday, so if you're surprised you haven't heard from us, let us know. 

This is one of the worst jobs at the farm--turning away people who would be great customers.  If any of you know someone interested in starting a CSA in the DC area, tell them the market is ripe for more supply.  In the meantime, everyone is still welcome to work for a share, or visit our farm stand at the Anacostia Farmers' Market on Wednesdays from 3-7pm from June to November, between U & V Sts. on 14th St., SE.  I also recommend visiting www.localharvest.org for a directory for other local CSAs, co-ops and farmers' markets. 

We still have some half-price shares we can sell to low-income folks, so if you know anyone interested, please spread the word.  Anyone who qualifies for WIC, EBT or disability is eligible, as well as anyone who makes less than 185% of the federal poverty level (email or call us for details--301-627-4662).  These are full shares at half the price--equivalent in size to our full-price share and work share.

Those who missed out and are looking for another local CSA... I have friends Scott and Tanya in Croom, a little southeast of Clagett Farm, who run a smaller CSA: http://www.jugbaymarketgarden.com/
Their farm pickup is on Sundays and they have a Monday eve drop-off near Capitol Hill in DC.
And I have friends Ilene and Phil in Comus (near Sugarloaf Mountain - take 270 north but get off a few miles south of Frederick) with a small CSA

I think they only have pick-up at the farm.
I don't know if either has space left for 2007, but you could ask! If you join either one, let them know I sent you!
Generally, CSAs like to collect their seed money in January and February - Clagett is later than most, so you may find it's a little late now for 2007 - good luck!
