May 2010 CSA Share Information

The Coulee View meat CSA shares have been put together and most share locations will be delivered on Tuesday, May 18th. Our May shares will all contain a package of our new andouille pork sausage and our new boston butt smoked bacon (bacon made from the shoulder roast cut). We are excited about these new additions to our offerings and wanted to let you try them right away. The shares will all also contain pork brats and boneless pork chops for your grill.

Also recall that your CSA shares entitle you to a pasture raised turkey for thanksgiving in the November share. We are ordering our poults (young turkeys) now and are trying to get a handle on what our needs will be. If your CSA is expiring before November, let us know if you are planning on extending it so so that we know whether to include your share in our turkey count (for those who aren't planning to extend, you can also reserve a Thanksgiving turkey with a $10 deposit). We also need to know now if you are interested in larger or extra turkeys. Note that a quarter CSA would have a small Royal Palm hen http://albc-usa.org/cpl/royalpalm.html which would work out well for a quarter share based on its dressed weight and fill out the quarter share. For a half CSA share we would include a correctly sized pasture raised heritage or Broad Breasted White turkey which would also fill out this share. Full CSA shares would include a Tom heritage turkey (about 13 to 15 lbs dressed weight) or a larger Broad Breasted White turkey based on customer preference. Unless a really large Broad Breasted White turkey is used, the November full share would have other items in int.

Please note that I have a new cell phone number, the number is 608-306-1465.
