The new CSA season is upon us and with one week of vegetables behind us, the PVF site is kicking back into full gear. The first week’s newsletters are online and I upgraded WordPress (the engine behind the site news… this only matters to the techies in the audience). I’ll be doing some tweaking ofContinue reading “A new season”

CSA shares for 2006 are all sold out! Registration for 2007 starts in mid-February. You can get our vegetables this season at the farmers markets and the roadside stands. For those of you that got registered in time, those veggies are coming next week!

Please note that the Vienna farm sign-ups have closed, unless you’ll be picking up at the Doveville Lane loation in Fairfax. The Purcellville farm sign-up is still open. The response this year has been excellent! If you want, you can write to us to be put on the mailing list for next year.

The egg shares for the Vienna farm are gone, so the new registration form shows that. Also, a separate registration form for the Purcellville farm is online as well.

2005 registration is now open!
