Hey Friends and Fans of Willie Green’s Organic Farm:

After avoiding Monroe’s first funnel cloud in over seven years two Fridays ago, this crazy weather cleared up just enough for us to pull off two successful events at the farm’s new outdoor event space called The Fields. Now, we are busy launching our first of  four four-week summer CSA sessions, and that’s why we are reaching out to you all.

If you haven’t already registered, today is your LAST opportunity to sign up for our first summer CSA sessions! This year’s CSA has been completely streamlined, via an online CSA management solution known as Farmigo. All you do is CLICK on the button that says “Join our CSA”  in the Farm to Family panel on our NEW website www.williegreens.org.

-Save up to 15%. You get more bang for your buck when you sign up for our CSA.

-No waiting in line. You don’t even have to bring cash because it’s all prepaid online. Just show up to your convenient drop off location, tell us your last name, and get your Willie Green’s booty! Better yet, if you help us set up a CSA at your office, church, or home you get a free box delivered directly to you.

-Guarantees you don’t miss out on our best produce. Wake up too late to get the good stuff at the market? No need to worry. You’ve got a pound of sugar snap and English shelling peas just waiting for you in your very own CSA box.

Warmest regards,
