Thursday's Newsletter- The POD
Click HERE to read your Wednesday's newsletter! Today's article is about New Entry's upcoming Open Farms Tour on Wednesday, August 5th. Come join us in Dracut, MA to meet the New Entry community while touring our Incubator farm sites (where a lotta the magic happens)!
Do you have friends, family or coworkers who haven't signed up for a World PEAS CSA share yet?
Don't let them miss out- they still have time to register for our Fall Share! The World PEAS CSA Fall share runs for the tail end of our program in September & October, providing 8 weeks of local fruits and vegetables to households that couldn't commit to a full season of produce. This is a great option for Fall semester students or for families that travel during the summer, and it only costs $250! Help our farmers earn critical farm income by encouraging your friends & networks to join the World PEAS CSA for the most productive weeks of the agricultural season. Fall shareholders can register at www.worldpeasfoodhub.org!
FYI: All current shareholders have already paid in full for the full 20 weeks of our season, so none of you need to register for a Fall share unless you would like to receive more produce each week!)
Upcoming Events
There's still time to register for two upcoming fine dining events which will feature New Entry farmers and their delicious local produce!
- 8th Annual New Entry Open Farms Tour, August 5th @ 4:45 PM, Ogonowski Memorial Fields, 126 Jones Ave., Dracut, MA. Read our newsletter to learn more about this event!

New Entry farmer Andal Sundaramurthy will also have a chance to share her experiences as beginning sustainable farmer with dinner attendees.
