Quote of the week

"I felt a great disturbance in the garden...it was as if a million weeds suddenly cried out in terror and were up-rooted and silenced."

Seasons come, Seasons go...

Farmer's Markets are wrapping up for the year, furnaces have been turned on for the first time this fall, and winter is threatening to take over soon. This means the end of our season here at Kelso Acres.

We wanted to take some time to thank all of you that have stopped by our tables throughout this past year for all of  your support. Especially those who had CSA shares when it was our first year, and you had no idea what to expect. Also those of you that we have come to know as our "regulars," those smiling faces that would appear week after week to buy items to fill your fridge or freezer every week. Thank you just doesn't seem to cut it!

Ed and I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who took time out of your busy schedules to help us in the garden. Whether it was time spent weeding, getting a sore back harvesting beans, washing our produce or loading it in the coolers so it would be ready for market. THANK YOU so much for all the time you spent helping us, even when we didn't ask for help you did anyways. It is much appreciated, more than you know.

As we look forward toward next year and the next season of markets, you can find the Hohenstein family (Ed and Des) at Back40Acres. Please visit us at www.back40acres.com to see our progress and get updates (even during the cold, blustery winter months). Rumor has it that Ed has made improvements to the greenhouse and has already planted garlic! You can also reach us at back40acres@live.com or check us out on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/Back40Acres.
