STEPHEN PEDERSEN and JEANNE BYRNE – In 2011, Two Small Farms will once again be two individual small farms, dividing our CSA program into separate businesses. Don’t worry! We will still offer all the great advantages you are used to getting from the CSA. High Ground Organics will be offering pick-up sites from Palo Alto through the South Bay and Peninsula, as well as Monterey and Santa Cruz counties.

STEPHEN PEDERSEN and JEANNE BYRNE – It’s hard to believe that it’s been eight years since we started Two Small Farms. We will always be grateful to Julia and Andy for all that this partnership has done for us—all that we’ve learned from them, all the times we were able to depend on Andy to come up with a truly remarkable essay for the newsletter, Julia’s untiring drive to find good recipes among her vast cookbook collection, and the way that together we really were able to come up with something that was more than the sum of its parts.

Occasionally one of our customers writes us a polite note urging us to be more “green” in our packaging for the CSA. They are bothered by the plastic bags that we use to portion some items and the big liner bag we use in each box.

You’re not going to eat them, so why bother to buy organic when it comes to flowers? Three good reasons are worker safety, your safety, and environmental health.
