Greetings from The Neighborhood Farm!
We are teaming up with Heaven's Harvest and Enterprise Farms again
to bring up another load of certified organic citrus from Eagle's
Nest Farm in Florida. The January citrus was amazing. This month
the fruit will arrive on Saturday February 28th. The mix in this
month's box will be a bit different since it is later in the
season. We expect the boxes to have red grapefruit, red valencia
oranges and honey tangerines. A full box (40 lbs +) is $68 and a
half box is $37. That is about $1.70/lb if you get a full box (way
less than the organic citrus at Whole Foods!) If you would like to
order, email me and I'll give you the details. Feel free to pass
this along to anyone you think might be interested.
On March 2nd, the Needham Community Farm is hosting an event at the
Needham Public Library. There will be a presentation about
community farms given by Greg Maslowe from Newton Community Farm and
Verena Wieloch from Gaining Ground Farm in Concord. If you would
like to know more about community farms in general or plans for the
Needham farm in particular, please stop by. The presentation will
be in the Community Room from 7:30 to 9. There will be light snacks
and a contest to win dinner for two at Sweet Basil. For more

There is growing interest in starting a weekly farmer's market in
Needham. We are looking for people and/or organizations to help
with this project. If you are interested in getting involved,
please email me.
