This Week's Denison Farm CSA Share

Dear CSA Members,

Wild Geese
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
~ from Dream Work by Mary Oliver

We have arrived at the final week of the CSA! And this newsletter is devoted to you - our dear CSA Members. Brian and I thank you for your support, your thoughtfulness, your friendship. With you, we have a partnership and community, a shared love for the farm, healthy and nutritious vegetables, and a love for the land. We admire each of you and deeply value your commitment and trust in us. Your emails are filled with kindness and appreciation for what happens here at Denison Farm. They are treasured gifts that make all the difficult days so much easier to bear. We appreciate your recipes, your suggestions, your late-night email ideas. Thank you for making this season wonderful. We have already plunged headlong into the planning for next season. Come join us again for another CSA adventure in 2027. We would hate to go it alone.

Until then, enjoy your winter vegetable boxes, come to the Bulk Sale, and stay cozy throughout the winter months!

With Gratitude – Justine and Brian
