| Thinking about starting a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm or adding CSA to your farm?
After a season or two as a CSA grower do you need some advice? This is a chance to discuss your project with seasoned CSA growers! The format will be 'Farmer-to-Farmer.' A panel of experienced CSA growers will make short presentations, with each grower offering insight into their 'take' on each topic. The needs of the participants will guide additional discussion.
February 23, 2008, Kalamazoo, Michigan (Public Library - Downtown) March 8, 2008, Ann Arbor (Leslie Science Center - Nature House) Times will be announced, but are expected to be 9:30 or 10 am to 4:00 pm. Lunch will be included. Participants will take home a copy of the training manual for CSA that CSA-MI produced (details at http://csafarms.org/csafarms0656231.asp) Registration is strongly advised, as attendance will be limited. Space for 'walk-ins' may not be available. Registration form and updates are available at http://csafarms.org/csafarms0731293.asp Contact: CSA-MI 3480 Potter Rd Bear Lake, MI 49614 231-889-3216 (toll free 877-526-1441) Email anotherfarmer@hotmail.com www.csafarms.org/csaresources.asp Jim Sluyter Five Springs Farm http://www.csafarms.org/fivespringsfarm.asp
