Special Announcement to Katonah Green Readers: Fresh Local Organic Produce Buyer's Club

 Doug DeCandia from Digger's East Farmstand at the Ryder Farm

Interested in buying farm fresh produce and in the process supporting local agriculture?

I am forming a sort of "buyers club" - one in which I send out a weekly, or bi-weekly, e-mail with what we will have available for that week - and you write back with what you would like and when you can pick it up at the farm.

Interested, here is how I am thinking this can work:
- I send out an email at the beginning of the week with what we have available
- you write me back with what you would like and when you can pick it up (I would like to provide you with the freshest of produce, so if you can tell me at least a day in advance I can harvest within the day, and hopefully that day)
***PLEASE INCLUDE IN SUBJECT LINE - "Produce Order - and your pickup day"***
- pickup will be at the farm, or we can work out another arrangement on an individual basis.
- if you can call me before you come - it would best so that I can be sure to meet you.

Thank you all so very much for your support. I am very excited for this.

- Doug DeCandia
