SUBSCRIPTION CSA
In 2008, we have begun a Subscription CSA in addition to our sales through the Farmers Markets and the
Nebraska Food Cooperative. Subscribers will receive a subscription of farm
fresh produce each week for twenty weeks, running from mid-May to October. The assortment of produce will vary throughout the season and will
contain a wide variety ranging from gourmet salad mixes to tomatoes, new
potatoes to green onions, peas to green beans, cucumbers to spinach, and squash to melons. Our subscribers will be our
priority customers, and we will endeavor to provide them with the "first pick"
from our gardens, giving them the best we have to offer.
Subscribers may purchase a subscription for
$25.00 per week. The full subscription fee of $500.00 can be paid upon
registration, or subscribers can make a non-refundable $100.00 deposit at
registration, with the remaining balance due by May 1, 2008. An all natural,
free range chicken egg subscription of a dozen eggs per week for twenty weeks
may be purchased for an additional $4.00 per week. Again, payment is due by May
1st. These are Large, Grade A, Candled Eggs. They are beautifully colored (blue,
green, tan, etc.) Araucana/Americana chicken eggs with bright yellow yolks and
firm whites. Delicious!
Subscribers may pick up their produce
on Saturday, between 8:00 AM & Noon, during the twenty week subscription season
at their choice of either the Omaha Farmers Market (11th & Jackson St.) or the
Village Pointe Farmers Market (168th & Dodge St.). For more information,

PUREBRED BERKSHIRE FEEDER PIGS FOR SALE
We currently have purebred Berkshire
feeder pigs, out of registered purebred breeding stock, for sale. Berkshires
are a heritage breed of swine that produce gourmet pork. The meat is marbled
like beef, and is the finest tasting pork there is! Our feeder pigs are
pre-conditioned (castrated and wolf teeth clipped) and
can be vaccinated at your request at no extra charge. These pigs were farrowed
and raised outdoors in portable huts. They are hardy and do very well in hot or cold
weather with simple housing. Availability is limited. For more information call or e-mail us.
