Hurricane Irene
We were very fortunate that hurricane Irene’s path changed and our farm was spared. Our hearts go out to all the farmers in western MA.
Hi,We noticed that another farm's CSA is including a bonus for its members of two complimentary corn maize passes. Wondering if Marini's has considered doing this as well? Also wondering, as the season winds down, if we missed the opportunities for tours and 'coupons to be used in the stand and for special events,' or is that coming within the remaining few weeks?Many thanks for the healthy harvests!

Hi, The idea about tours and coupons isn't mine, it's Marini's. It is mentioned in the FAQ about the CSA. ("Will there be additional benefits offered to CSA members? Yes...") Having not received anything like that yet, I figured it was time to check. THanks!
Today all members will receive an end of the season coupon to use in the farm stand. Unfortunately we were not able to organize a farm tour for this season but it is definitely something we are excited to do in the future. Members will also get their choice of pumpkins during the final pick up of the season.
