We will not be at the Dane County Farmers' Market on the Square tomorrow for the opening day. We will keep updates coming for our first Market. We have pushed the start of the Spring Share and Main Season Shares back a week due to the weather.
Hope for a sunny week!
Hello,
We are writing to inform you of the NEW starting dates for the 2013 CSA season at Sprouting Acres. We are unable to walk in our fields let alone get a tractor in for planting this month. We have had a couple days of sun in the last two weeks with this slow moving, never ending storm system. So, we are pushing the start dates of the Spring Shares and the Main Season Shares back a week. This means if you have a Spring Share(4 extra weeks purchased before Main season) your first box will be MAY 2nd. The first delivery of the 22 Week season will now be MAY 30th. The EOW boxes will be divided in half for the even and odd weeks. We will email you the week before and the day before the first boxes. We will also let you know before mid May if you are an even or an odd EOW box.
We hope you understand that we want the first boxes of the Spring Shares and the Main Season Shares to be as full as possible. The season will still be 22 weeks long, it will just end a week later now. Please let us know if you have any questions about the change.
Send us some sunny thoughts. The greenhouse is filling up and it all looks great!
We are looking to open a new pickup location by the Zoo and just need a few more boxes to do it. Let us know if you are interested or if you already signed up and you would like to switch to that location.
Thanks
We still have full season and EOW shares availalble for 2013. We also have a new pick-up site in Oregon, (WI). It is just off main street on West Lincoln St. You will be able to sign up to the new location tonight after 9:00.
Thanks.

Hello,
We are letting you know that there is a new pick-up site in Oregon. The exact address will be posted soon. If you are interested in moving your pick-up location to Oregon or know of someone that was interested in picking up in Oregon in general, please let us know. The site is in between Bills/Walgreens area and downtown. The site will be added as an option in the next couple days and if you would like to switch it can be done from the website. If you have trouble switching it or figuring it out, let us know.
The snow is melting and the sun is shining. Spring Shares start at the end of April! The main season shares start at the end of May.
Check us out on Facebook for new photos and updates or check back to the website.
Thanks.

Our Spring Shares are completely sold out for the 2013 season.
Thank You.
We are looking for someone in the Oregon, WI area to host a pick-up site at their home or business. If interested or want to know more, please contact Andy. andy@macwatson.net
Hello.
We still have shares available for this season. We are almost out of Spring Shares but still have Full Shares and Every Other Week Shares available. Please help us spread the word about CSA and tell your family and friends about us. We are also looking for a couple more drop sites for our delivery route. If you are in the Verona area or a little farther east than 1st Street in Madison, send us an email if you are interested in a dropsite. We like a minimum of 5 shares per site and do offer a discount to members that host a pick-up site.
If you haven't signed up yourself, don't forget to get a spot reserved. Let us know if you have any questions about pick-up sites or anything else that comes to mind.

We still have Full Shares, Every Other Week Shares and a couple of Spring Shares Available. We also have Market Shares available as well. Market Shares are simply pre-paid punch cards that can be used at our market stand anytime during 2013. They are $100 per card and are great for people that love to shop farmers' markets and get the veggies they want when they want them. They are also great for CSA members to supplement during the season.
We are also still looking for good, hard working people to come work on the farm for our Worker Share postitions. Go to "The Experience" tab to find out more. Contact us if you have any questions.
Have a great weekend!
