Happy 2010!
We've made it our mission to encourage local, seasonal eating by delivering you the freshest and finest foods available in our local foodshed. In spite of 2009's challenging economic times, we experienced our second consecutive year of growth. We delivered over 18,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables -- all grown right here in Northern Ohio on family farms located less than 50 miles from Cleveland.
We'd like to thank everyone who made our year a happy one: our dedicated FarmShare subscribers, partners, family, and friends of local food. We can't do it without you. Your support of FarmShare continues to provide local farmers and food producers a dependable, local market which preserves Ohio farmland and strengthens our local food community. For this we are grateful.
We also applaud our local farmers, bakers, cheesemakers, beekeepers, millers, food artisans, and yes, Mother Nature, whose seasonal collaboration resulted in a bounty of delicious, nutritious, local food on our tables throughout the past year.
As 2010 quickly approaches, we have much to look forward to. The first FarmShare delivery of the year is scheduled for January 21. Our Happy Healthy New Year Delivery will feature winter root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, beets and potatoes; kitchen staples such as onions and garlic; and more wholesome, hearty foods to nourish us through winter's coldest days.

Happy New Year!
