Welcome to Abbe Hills
Abbe Hills Garden serves nearly 200 families in the Mount Vernon, Lisbon, and Cedar Rapids area with fresh, tasty, healthy vegetables for 20 weeks every summer and fall. Additionally, about 30 families have shares in the Late Fall CSA that began November, 2009.
Sign up now for the 2009 CSA garden season, or for volunteer opportunities. New shareholders welcome anytime.
In 2009,
about 13 acres of the 72-acre farm will be garden crops, and the
harvest of those crops will be divided into shares for about 200
area families. Laura and her team of college and high school
students will grow over 100 varieties of crops, and have vegetables
for shareholder families for 20 weeks from early June until the end
of October.
Check out the Mt Vernon farmers markets on Jan 16 and 30, 11:00 until 1:00, City Hall. Call Laura if you need potatoes or onions. I have LOTS of them left over.
Final pickup for the Late Fall CSA will likely be Sunday, Dec 13, 1:oo until 4:30. We'll have potatoes, onions, squash, kale, lettuce, chinese cabbage, bok choi, mustard greens, radishes, turnips, beets. If it is raining/sleeting then, check your email for a new plan, or call Laura.
