Palisade
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

The Dual Imersion Academy (DIA) had a field trip to the farm on thursday we had such a great time with the fourty 1st graders and we cant wait to see you again! Below are some pictures of the day!
The spring Salad Share is finally here! We have been anxiously waiting for many of our crops to grow and thankfully the rain is helping this years bounty get off to a good start. In anticipation of the full season share the salad share really helps us get through these hard next few weeks. It is such a treat to enjoy the wonderful flavors of spring rain and crisp air along with the spice of arugala, radishes, and baby turnips filling our plates and bellies. To us the fist harvest is a celebration of what is about to take place. Savoring and enjoying our delicious salad greens and every leaf knowing that they don’t last all summer is truly a very special time at the Cameron Place CSA.
