Farm Updates

9.2.2010
There are big changes abound here as we go into winter with a total over haul on our minds! Immediate tidbits to know are that only dream share members this year will be eligible for Keeper Shares. Also, the City of Lafayette and Abbondanza have opted to surrender the lease agreement at Thomas Open Space. The farm stand is closed. All CSA pick ups will be moved to one of our other locations by Sept 16. Windsor Dairy milk shares will be able to switch to our home farm or the Outlook Hotel. Equinox is right around the corner! Holy Cow! Shanan

Dream Share!

Its never too late to join Dream Share!
This three-year program assists in bringing permanence to local farming while adding more local food stuffs to your refrigerator. Dream Shares may also include seeds and plant starts as well as consultation in case you are an aspiring gardener as well as a local farm supporter. With just 50 Dream Share members added each year, at the low cost of $3300.00, we will perennialize our dream and add to the long-term sustainability of our planet and her resources. We are striving for 60 new members in 2010. Abbondanza has made the leap, all we need is for our community to step up and support. Gift shares are an option as well and go directly to supporting the food insecure community through CSA membership thus building a bridge to food sovereignty in Boulder County.
