MCFC CSA 2014: Delivery Reminder
This Friday is a the last CSA delivery of the season.
See you between 12 pm & 6 pm at 108 Orange Road Montclair NJ.

• Return your clean bin & bag.
• Please bring bags with you and LEAVE YOUR BIN AT THE SITE
• Check off next to each item on sign-in sheet
• Please take your garbage with you.

The selection and amount of produce in a weekly share varies by season, by the farmer’s crop plan, the different types of vegetables growing throughout the season, and by daily availability. Shares are typically larger in August than in June. One aspect of CSA is sharing the risk of farming; there is no guarantee of how large or varied the shares will be each week. Enjoy the diversity, the assortment and the varieties each delivery.

A message from the farmer:

“The Perozzi family raises beef cattle, pigs, and poultry at Wrong Direction Farm in New York’s Mohawk Valley. We are pleased to be partnering with the Montclair Food Co-op this year to provide our pasture raised pork. Our pigs live in the fields and hedgerows from spring thaw until early December. During that time they are moved at least once a week to fresh ground giving them plenty of forage and room to run around and to be pigs. During the winter, the herd moves into a greenhouse bedded with wood chips and hay, but they usually choose to spend a lot of their time outdoors anyway. The pigs’ foraging is supplemented with certified organic grain (corn, oats, barley, field peas mixture), whey from our neighbor’s cheddar cheese-making, and produce scraps from the Capital District Farmers’ Market. To learn more about the farm, check us out at our blog and website at wrongdirectionfarm.com or on Facebook. We love to talk about pigs, farming, and food, so feel free to get in touch.”
