FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JUNE 7, 2012
Village Farm of Freedom is seeking
vegetable loving people who would like to receive weekly organic
produce through its CSA program but could use a discount on price.
Now in its fifth season, the Village Farm is committed to making its
highest quality produce available to people of all economic
circumstances. Village Farm is partnering with Maine Farmland Trust
to offer SNAP recipients 50% off CSA shares in 2012. Yes,
half-priced, fresh organic products!
Community Supported Agriculture is a
way that farmers and consumers commit to each other for mutual
benefit. The Village Farmers grow a full array of spring, summer and
fall vegetables and herbs and distribute them to their 'members' each
Tuesday evening, June 19 through October 9 at the farm in freedom or
at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Belfast. Members support the
farmers by paying all or some of their membership to the CSA early in
the season, when most farm expenses are incurred. SNAP recipients
will pay Village Farm for half of the CSA share value and Maine
Farmland Trust will pay the other half.
Village Farm's website,
www.villagefarmfreedom.com,
describes CSA and its Summer Vegetable Shares, Egg Shares, Flower
Shares and Fall Vegetable Shares. New in 2012 is a Cheese Share
offering, weekly cow, goat and sheep cheeses from Appleton Creamery!
All but the Flower Shares are eligible for the 50% discount to SNAP
recipients.
If you or someone you know is
interested in weekly organic vegetables and a connection to a local
farm, please contact Village Farm about this amazing offer! Email:
