Official CSA Start Dates! ( CSA MEMBERS PLEASE RESPOND!)

Hi everyone!  After a long, cold, wet spring, we finally have official start dates for the CSA!  We've been watching the plants with bated breath to determine when they'll be producing enough food for us to start the CSA, and it looks like it's going to be next week!  BUT--- (And this is important, so don't just skim over this!) instead of starting on Monday the 17th like we had originally hoped, we're going to be starting the Lansing, Okemos, St. Johns, and Midland drop-offs next week, and the Alma and Mt. Pleasant drop-offs the week after that.  Fred's expert eye has determined that the plants will be ready on Wednesday the 19th (and unfortunately, not in time for Monday), so that will be our first CSA drop-off!  Here are the official dates and details so you can mark your calendars:

Lansing, Okemos, and St. Johns:  Wednesday, June 19th.  The Lansing drop-off is at the Soup Spoon Café on Michigan Ave. anytime between 4:30 and 10 PM.  The Okemos drop-off is at Mert's Meats on Grand River anytime between 4:30 and 6:30 PM.  And if you're picking up in St. Johns, I'll be sending you a separate email with the address because it's at someone's house, but you can pick up your share anytime after 4 PM.

Midland and MidMichigan hospital:  Thursday, June 20th.  The Midland drop-off will be at the Eagle Ridge Church of God between 5 and 6 PM.  The hospital shares will be dropped off at the seating area/ delivery turnaround behind the Center for Women's Health, and you can pick them up anytime after 4 PM.

Alma:  Monday, June 24th.  The drop-off is at His Place on Superior St. between 5 and 6 PM.

Mt. Pleasant:  Tuesday, June 25th.  The drop-off is at Herbs Etc. on Broadway between 5 and 6 PM.

So mark your calendars, enter a reminder on your phone, and let me know if you have any questions!  And since I really really want to make sure everyone gets this message and doesn't miss the first week of veggies, can you PLEASE JUST SEND ME A QUICK EMAIL SO I KNOW YOU GOT THE MESSAGE?  I'll send another email to any CSA members I don't hear from by Saturday and try to get in touch with you that way, and if I still don't hear back from you, I'll give you a phone call.  But it would make my life a lot easier if you just let me know you got the message, so I don't have to track you down over the weekend.  :-)  Thanks so much, and we are so looking forward to seeing all of you at the first drop-off!
