(CSA Newsletter: Fall Week 3)
Meet this week’s vegetables:
Each year at this time, we here at Oakhill Organics take an evening to sit down and actually write out our thanks for the year. Listing our gratitudes has become a significant annual exercise for us, helping us remember the many blessings we received that year: including the mundane (books we loved) and the life changing (moving to Oregon).
Last year, I’m sure we thought our ‘life-changing’ quotient had pinnacled. 2007, however, continued adding significant events to the list: building our house, moving to our new land, etc. It’s been quite a year.
As we begin to consider this year’s list, one thing tops everything: the people that made this year possible. And you, our community of eaters, have been a huge part of it all. Both on an individual level with the way you offer your unique gifts so generously, but also as a whole body of overwhelming enthusiasm and support.
So, on this Thanksgiving holiday, we thank you.
May you have an absolutely wonderful holiday. Enjoy the vegetables!
Your farmers,
Katie & Casey Kulla
Oakhill Organics
P.S. Did you know? … If every American ate just one meal a week of locally grown organic foods, we would reduce our oil consumption by 1.1 million barrels every week — or one quart of oil saved per meal per person. Thank you for doing your part!
