It's thanksgiving week now and already, stores have been filling with Christmas decorations, toy displays and music. For two weeks i have already been receiving mail ads for Black Friday sales. Just today, I have finall gotten on the bandwagon rather than just watching it go by.
Omache Farm's Etsy shop is open for the winter!
All of our immediately available fiber products are being posted on our Etsy shop: www.omache.etsy.com. For local customers, you may also check out the Yarn Underground in Moscow for fibers on consignment there.
This is very exciting for us and I'm hoping to sell through most of our fiber between Yarn Underground and Etsy before we shear again in June!
So, help us out, have some fibery fun! Check our fiber products out and pass the link on to your fibery friends! Browse the rest of Etsy as well, you will probably be able to find the most beautiful gifts for most everyone on your list, all from small business people, many of whom are working hard to earn their living from their passions.
Happy Holidays!

Publicity and Press
We've been in our local paper but this year we're starting to attract the attention of some slightly larger entities.
The first would be WSU's CHANRS College. They came to our farm and interviewed us in part to promote Organic Agriculture and the agriculture programs at WSU.
They also cut a second version that we may use in our own promotions.

From Education to Entrepreneurship

We also recently heard of and checked out the movement known as The Greenhorns.
They can be found at www.TheGreenhorns.net
Severine and her traveling crew actually called us up and asked to come check out our farm. Well of course! They visited on Thursday and came back on Friday to film footage for a new project of shorts about young farmers. They also want to interview us in the future for their radio show! Crazy exciting! We'll definitely be bringing it up again when their new video project goes public.
In the mean time, enjoy our new videos and Pass it On!

Our latest adventure: CSA!
We have officially decided to offer a small CSA for the 2012 growing season. (small being the number of shares, not the amount of produce!)
What is a CSA?
You will also receive a weekly newsletter via Email. Our newsletters provide each week’s harvest list, information, stories, recipes and photos of farm life.
What is a CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. CSA is a Partnership between a farm and members of the community providing a direct connection between the growing and eating of the food.
As a member of our CSA you help provide the farm a guaranteed source of funds to purchase seeds and supplies early in the season, and a guaranteed market for our produce. For you, it guarantees a supply of fresh, local, and in-season produce grown using organic methods.
As a member of our CSA, you will receive a weekly box of fresh veggies grown locally and seasonally.
By being a member of our first year CSA you are helping us to take an important step towards growing our farm. Each step we take in growing moves us closer to our goals of being a source of fresh, healthy food to our community and helping build a strong local food web from farm to fork.
Season Length, Pricing and Pick-up:
Our season will run the length of the Pullman Farmer's Market. This year that is from May 9th through October 17th; a total of 24 weeks.
Our regular size box or share is perfect for 2-3 people who love to eat vegetables.
Price: $300
Due by March 1, 2012.
Pickup: Come to the Pullman Farmer's Market on Wednesdays between 4 and 6pm. The Market is located in the Spot Shop parking lot, just up the street from Swilly's restaurant in Downtown Pullman.
If you are unable to pick up your box on any given week, you're out of town, your garden gave you a surprise bumper crop, whatever the reason, try to arrange to have a friend pick it up for you and give them a taste of fresh local produce. If another arrangement cannot be made, we will be happy to donate it to the food bank.
More Information?
Email us! We would love to email you a copy of our CSA brochure and sign-up form!
Welcome to our new adventure!
