Happenstance Feature Article

May 2011 Happenstance

This month's feature article is about the May Family Farm at La Liendre, or more specifically about the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture program) the farm is offering. If you haven't read the article, click May Family Farm and learn about this opportunity for you to have farm fresh produce through the season. The cutoff for signing up is May 15.

Marc May also pointed out that you can get farm fresh produce through the summer by going to the Farmer's Market held each Wednesday and Saturday from 7 to noon. The farmers set up in the parking lot on 6th Street behind the IC Church events center. The CSA is a formalized method of getting your produce on a set schedule.

New this month is an introduction to the Happenstance store. You can buy my books, Kathy Allen's digital cookbook and you can become a Happenstance sponsor.
