CSA Week 22: October 22 to October 24

This Week’s Share

Share Notes

• Cabbage, Savoy: The cabbage in your share this week is a savoy type and is a bit more tender than other cabbages. It works nicely as a fresh and crunchy wrap – try using it in place of rice paper or tortillas with your favorite filling.

SIO and PACSAC (Portland Area Community Supported Agriculture Coalition) Want Your Feedback

Please take a moment to fill out this survey about your experience as a CSA member: https://portlandstate.qualtrics.com//SE/?SID=SV_cNsvT0IaPheo1i5 It’s anonymous and should take about ten minutes. The survey will help us learn about what went well this year and what we should consider changing for next year. The survey also asks questions like how you get your news or what kinds of things you like to do in your free time. Answering these demographic questions will let us know where to focus our efforts to promote CSA. Since other farms are also sending this survey to their members, make sure to fill out our farm name on the survey. We know you’re busy. Taking this time to complete the survey will help us improve our CSA practices and will provide information that will strengthen sustainable, local farming in our area.  Thank you!

Order Bulk Vegetables from SIO

Are you a juicer? Have friends, neighbors or co-workers eyeing your share? Find your self just needing more SIO? We are having great yields on several of our fall storage crops and would like to again offer the opportunity to buy in bulk from the farm. We had such great success offering Bulk Carrots last year, that we are expanding to Bulk Beets, Bulk Potatoes, and Bulk Onions and may add more crops as they become available.

For this coming week please place your order by noon Thursday 10/24. All orders will be available for pick-up at the farm 12pm (Noon) Friday 10/25 through 7pm Sunday 10/27. To place an order email the farm at csa@sauvieislandorganics.com with your name, type of Bulk Box(es) you’d like, and the weekend you want them available for pick-up at the farm. You will receive an email confirming your order and directions for how to pick-up it up from the farm. Please invite your non-CSA member friends, neighbors, and co-workers to take advantage of this opportunity and get in on some of the SIO bounty as well.
