Dear CSA Member,
Our last message this year is one of thanks. Thank you to all of the Core Group members, others who help with the weekly delivery, and each CSA member.
Our farm family continues to grow and we are thankful for everyone that has worked with us this past season. The men that work on the farm, Julian, Juan, Geo, Arturo will be leaving on Wednesday to return to their families in Mexico and we thank them for their hard work and dedication to the farm. We look forward to their return next spring.
Enjoy the holidays ahead. We are reminded daily of the wonders that the earth has to offer and we thank you for being part of Stoneledge Farm.

Urgent Announcement! Meeting October 6th, from 5:30 to 6:30 in the church sanctuary |
|
Running the CSA smoothly is a challenging but rewarding enterprise. Next year is promising to be a challenging one. Events are conspiring such that the very existence of the West Village CSA next year is threatened. The core group of volunteers is shrinking. Tina Fuchs has left, so the association with Saint Vincent's Hospital is all but severed. David Marshall is stepping down as the webmaster. Others probably won't fullifil their current roles next year. On top of that, the use of the current space is uncertain due to the Church of the Village's construction plans for next year. In a nutshell, this means that unless current members step up to take responsibility, the West Village CSA will very likely cease to exist. We will have a meeting October 6th, from 5:30 to 6:30 in the church sanctuary Any members who are interested in joining the core group are asked to attend. |

Winter Shares and a Video |
|
There are also two other bits of information your members may be interested in that I did not include in the note. If you have members that would be interested in a Winter Share from Winter Sun Farm, they should go to the Winter Sun website www.WinterSunFarms.com click on "Become a Member" and they will find a list of the current sites and sign-up information. Also, member Suzanne from the Mt. Sinai Farm Share group sends this information: "Check out this video a colleague of mine did about urban farming in the Bronx! It’s really entertaining - just a few minutes - great soundtrack I’m involved with this group Spread it around to anyone you know who may be interested!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgGL6mz3dBY |

Tina Fuchs, the woman who got the founding grant for the West Village CSA, and who has remained a driving force in the CSA core group over the years is no longer able serve in the core group. In her own words: "....I will not be involved with the core group any longer. Please know that I am ok - very happy, actually. At the moment I plan to enjoy a bit of summer, spend some needed time with my family and hopefully re-group and re-energize for the next part of my journey known as life. Still it is a bittersweet parting, because although it is the best thing for me ... CSA is one of the programs that I am truly sad to leave behind. " She will be missed. You may contact her at
