This Week's Denison Farm CSA Share

Hello CSA Members,

Such heart-felt Gratitude I have for our crew! Each human being who farms with us is resilient, talented, professional, and outstanding. Let me name these amazing people: Walter, Zee, Mark, Jeannine, Errol, Stephen, Tyrone, Joel, Sean, Marlon, Ann and Dan. Brian and I may be at the helm, but these are the people who carry the load to plant, weed, and bring you the harvest. They all arrive ready to work in every kind of weather and are more than willing to maintain high standards whether it be treating one another with respect and kindness or bunching kale, with care and consistency (and with no yellow leaves!). So much thought and intelligence must pour into the work they each do. No task is easy or quick and all tasks require careful procedure and decision-making. Finally, a farm crew is a family and a team. I am filled with Admiration and Gratitude for their work, their team effort, and for who they each are as individuals. We are celebrating Walter’s birthday in this photo and thanks to Jeannine Laverty, we have a very delicious carrot cake to enjoy. Brian and I are very, very lucky farmers indeed!

Wishing you the best – Justine.
