It’s that time of year again!  As Central New York begins to thaw, we are thrilled to announce an enticing variety of produce and specialty shares for the 2011 season!  The Planning Group has been working hard this winter along with Grindstone Farm to plan an exciting and bountiful season for our CSA members.  Visit the Join page for all the details of this year’s shares and to sign up today.
