Meat CSA in Prospect Lefferts Gardens (and surrounding Neighborhoods)

Hi,

I help run the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program at Maple Street School in Prospect Lefferts Gardens.

The CSA also offers a meat share separately from the vegetable share and I could use your help advertising it as the deadline is fast approaching.

Here are the deets:

We are happy to announce that we have meat shares available from Herondale Farm starting in January 2013.

Herondale Farm (www.herondalefarm.com) is offering monthly grass-fed, pasture-raised on organic fields 15 and 10 pound beef/pork/lamb/chicken shares starting in January 2013. Chicken-only shares are available starting in May 2013 (when they are “in season”). There are no half shares, but people frequently split shares by finding a partner and alternating months.

All meats come individually vaccuum-packed and frozen.

Pick up is monthly on the second Wednesday of the month from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sterling Street between Rogers and Nostrand Avenues, 1/2 block from the Sterling Street 2/5. Subscriptions are every four months and you can sign up for the whole year at once and will be invoiced every 4 months at the start of each season. You can pay in one lump sum or pay monthly and you can order additional meats with your share.

15# and 10# Beef/Pork/Lamb/Chicken Shares

Includes: 5 pounds of prime cuts (e.g.: beef steaks, lamb chops, pork chops, leg of lamb, split chicken breast); 5 pounds of roasting/bbq meats (e.g.: brisket, london broil, ribs, roasts, whole chicken, chicken leg/thigh); 5 pounds of ground/stew/sausages (e.g. ground beef, lamb or pork, kabobs, chicken or pork sausages, beef hot dogs, chicken wings, bacon)

Pork or lamb can be substituted out if needed. Please indicate this on the form

Forms should be sent directly to Herondale Farms via email or mail.

DEADLINE IS DECEMBER 15!!

We need at least 20 shares for them to deliver to our location, and that was not a problem last year, but since the first season doesn't have a chicken-only share, it's been harder to get people to sign up.

If people have specific questions, they can contact Karen at [email protected]. I've been a member of this meat share for about a year now and can attest to it directly

Thanks!

Karen
