Brix Bounty Farm 2010 CSA Press Release – March 01 2010
We are growing in 2010, figuratively and literally…
Katie and I are looking forward to the arrival of our first child in early May.
We are also excited to announce that we are expanding our production in 2010, by leasing additional acreage down the road at the King Farm. In anticipation of the earlier start to our transplanting season, we have already started a few of our spring crops in the greenhouse. And the next round of our mini-apprenticeships start today!
This increased acreage, which is much better drained than our home farm, will allow us to start a new Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program this June. The Sign-up period for the CSA program is now underway. You can find more information by visiting our CSA page.

We’ll be doing a presentation on soil fertility using organic methods, with a focus on nutrient dense production. I’m also looking forward to hearing from the folks at New England Biochar who will be demoing the biochar process and presenting an afternoon workshop on Biochar 101. See our Events page for a listing of other upcoming events in the area, including our spring presentation schedule.

UPDATE: Due to the anticipated arrival of a winter storm and a Snow Emergency Parking Ban in effect in the City of New Bedford, we have decided to postpone the start of our Roots Down Series until next Thursday Feb. 18th. If you have any questions please contact the farm. Thanks.
And if you haven’t heard the news out of Washington; The First Lady launched Let’s Move, the new Childhood Obesity Campaign yesterday (c-span video coverage) and the USDA released it’s impressive Food Environment Atlas, which contains an astounding array of data related to access to healthy food.
