The Garberville Community Farm would like express our appreciation for all of the community support that made this last season a success. Thanks to all of the CSA members, together with you we had our best season yet. Thanks also to Chautauqua Natural Foods, Shopsmart, Rays, Amelia's, House of B and Nacho Mama for your enthusiastic support for local agriculture, and to all the local businesses who helped in large and small ways.

We enjoyed the company of this year's community gardeners, the Southern Humboldt Home School group, Gary Cox and Karen Trotter, Rachel Adair and Sam Epperson, Rio Anderson and Mia. We feel blessed to have worked alongside the many volunteers who helped to transplant thousands of seedlings and to bring in the abundant harvest.

Special thanks to Star Faroen, Amy Conway and Joe Wolf for your generosity in helping us to move closer to our vision of farming using appropriate technologies. And to John LaBoyteaux for your generosity in sharing your knowledge and providing valuable farming advice, many thanks.

Thanks also to the good people of SHEL, for helping to sharpen our focus on issues related to economic localization. And great appreciation to the board of the Southern Humboldt Community Park for your steady support for this project. You make this possible.

We are looking forward to next year's garden and welcome your participation. If you would like to receive our spring newsletter, or have questions or comments please call us at 707-223-4996 or email at garbervillefarm@gmail.com.

Blessings of the season,
John Finley and Lisa Solaris
