The Cameron Place CSA is searching for a new farm manager for the 2012 growing season.  Scott and Jessica did a good job in 2011, and have decided to look for other jobs with higher salaries.  I appreciate their enthusiasm and hard work, and wish them well.

As a farmer who has been dependent on risk-based income for 33 years, I firmly believe that a successful CSA manager must be willing to share a portion of the risk that crops and income may fail from natural causes beyond our control.  More importantly, success also hinges on the things that a farmer and farm manager can control, and difficult choices are inherent in running any enterprise.

The farm grounds, barn and greenhouse are in great shape due to the good work of Ben Wilke, Scott and Jessica Washkowiak, Ben Hill, Emily, Garance, Jessica E., Julio, and our work-share volunteers and WWOOFers.  I am confident that we will find excellent candidates for the Cameron Place's farm manager's job from a pool that includes former interns and other individuals who are eager for the opportunity to lead a CSA that is well-established and fully equipped to meet the needs of our local food and farming community.

Please write to cameronplacecsa@bresnan.net with your concerns, questions or suggestions.

Thank you,

Thomas Cameron

Diana with world table cooking school came to the farm last Tuesday and gave us some fresh new cooking tips from the bounty that the farm has to offer. We started with a awesome no cook tomato sauce over pasta. The suace was rich with fresh tomatoes, basil, garlic, onion, parmesan cheese, other garden herbs a splash of olive oil and vinegar then just a touch of salt and pepper. So yummy! We then moved to a great green summer salad with edibel flowers and lovely french balsamic dressing. We also learned a great melon salad and last but not least peach cobbler. We had so much fun eating, laughing, and enjoying all the flavors of the field to table cooking demo.

Hi Members,

The next time you come out to the farm please feel free to cut some flowers for your home! They are really starting to look nice!

Thanks Jess

We wanted to thank out friends at the CEC (Colorado Environmental Coalition) for supporting the CSA and for such a great BBQ. We had so much fun dancing to Flat Top Reed, Eating good food, and meeting new people. Celebrating the warm spring night was just what we needed to get ready for another great growing season.   

Hello Members, 

We wanted to share the first sprouts of the 2011 season with you. Below you will see your broccoli and cabbage starts.
