Week #22 on Red Hill Farm, by Angela

Week #22--two more weeks after this week.

This is a Full-Share and Friday Bi-Weekly Share Pickup week.

Brrrr, chilly, brrrr--the chill of fall has set in upon us. Which in turn shall make our fall crops all the more tasty as their starches convert to sugars as their own way of coping with the frost. We're still taking sign-ups for the cooking demo on Nov. 9th (see below).

2014 Membership Forms--Below is the 2014 Membership Registration Form. Like this season we are offering the one- to three-payment options for Full Shares or Bi-Weekly Shares. You can download the form from our website here: http://www.osfphila.org/red/how

You may also share the form with others to welcome them to farm membership.

RHF Membership form: http://www.osfphila.org/red/how

We accept membership registration until all 120 spots are filled; the earlier the forms are returned, the better we can plan, financially, for the 2014 season. There are a limited number of workshare memberships selected at the farmer's discretion. Please let me know if this interests you, and I will send you more information on what that commitment entails as well as how to apply.

On a Personal Note: This winter I am moving to Monmouth County, New Jersey, to be closer to my boyfriend's family. This is my last season on Red Hill Farm. We are in the process of interviewing for a new farm manager to join the dynamic crew of Brendan, Molly, and Joanne for 2014. Red Hill Farm has carved a permanent home in my heart; I mean that not only as a place but also you who make up the farm. I am immensely grateful to have had the time here.
