Interested in joining a CSA?

I just received this invitation from a neighbor, Paige Boger, and thought I'd pass it on.  Her contact information is at the bottom:
Nigel Walker & his wife Lorraine run Eatwell Farms together with their 14 year old twin sons Eric & Andrew and Cameron who is 23 and soon returning from 2 years abroad in Budapest with the Peace Corp.
Their CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Basket is truly a bountiful sight to witness each week (or bi-weekly) based on your subscription preference. Nigel also raises THE BEST PASTURED EGGS on the west coast -- HANDS DOWN... These can be a part of your subscription as well and also available weekly for purchase at Rainbow Grocery. He mills fresh whole wheat flour from about 8 different varieties of wheat each week for delivery as well. With all of this and some other treats you & your family can truly eat better than kings!

The pick-up spot will be close to 3rd & Innes. Nigel will start us out with a minimum of boxes because of my connection to the farm -- but Paige really wants this to be a great stop on his route and to blow him out of the water with our initial subscription..Paige is   looking for 15 more members to start the location -- she already has about 5. The 4 box trial - one per week (over 4 weeks) or one every other week (over 8 weeks) is $108 without eggs, or $140 with a dozen AWESOME SO TASTY YOU CAN’T BELIVE IT EGGS in each box! As a member you’ll also be able to add extra veg to your box, say your having a big party, or some wonderful Rosemary Salt.

The farm also hosts a wide variety of Farm Events for Member throughout the year. Strawberry Picking Days, Tomato Canning Parties - Lavender Cutting Events and all sorts of opportunities to truly connect with your food and the whole lot of people who care for it before it comes to you!

Eatwell Farms has been a integral part of the Ferry Plaza Market each Saturday for almost 15 years. You can find the farm stand directly behind Sur La Table on the Corner of the Market in the back. 
Paige is currently geting a list of people together who are interested, then she'll pass the info onto the Liz, the CSA Manager -- and hopefully we can up and running within a few weeks!


PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE LIBERALLY! Even to your friends who don’t live or work in our hood. Eatwell has 40 different drop sites throughout San Francisco, North Bay, East Bay & Sacramento Counties!

I am here to answer all your questions as is the farm. Visit their website at www.eatwell.com
