Our heartfelt "Thanks" go out not only to our subscribing Squeezepenny CSA Charter members and their families for a fantastic first ten months together but to all of our Squeezepenny CSA's Co- Producers and their families as well. We would also like thank the Frisco Farmers Market for the wonderful opportunities and times we had in your community during both our Summer and Fall '09 plans.

| We enjoyed our first few seasons at the Frisco Farmers Market located at Frisco Square. Our black and white checkered canopy top was hard to miss. That and the fact that we were the ONLY local vendor with Organic vegetables! We were also one of only two offering Organic Fruit earlier in both our summer and fall plans. |
| Ready for pick-up on back on Saturday July 25, 2009 for one of our new Squeezepenny CSA Frisco Charter Members. Included as a small token of our appreciation for a referral of another new member was a Faberware brand vegetable peeler. |
| Cypress Lake Naturals' fresh vegetables were included for the first time on 8/22/09. We all look forwardto their next harvests! |
| We were thrilled to join as Squeezepenny CSA's 10th co-producer with my family's Organic: Certified Exempt Bartlett Pears. We are looking forward to them during our next fall season. |

go and play just as far as I wanted until I got to a place where I didn't recognize the leaves on the trees. I have always kept that in mind while raising my children and grandchildren. I have told my granddaughter, Amelia, that she could go and play where ever she wanted just as long as she stayed on the grass. At a recent distribution's pick up site she very seriously and simply looked at me and asked, "Grandma Penny, where is the rest of the grass for me to play?" From the mouths of babes; a simple, unreasoned and innocent question. I was left with no justifiable explanation to give her and answered, "It's gone. Sorry baby, this is just about all they saved from what was once was a family ranch with plenty of grass to play on." We need to make sure that there is plenty of grass left for our future generations to live, work, play, produce and prosper on! |
| At this time, we are expecting our fresh produce distributions of our CSA Members' Share(s) to begin in late May/early June and continue through mid-July. |
to present and host: Collin County Economic Opportunities- CCEO 2009 a rural, urban and new urban, carbon footprint reducing proposed local agricultural and economic plan, currently proposed to the estimated approx. 900,000 residents of Collin County, Texas. With a specific challenge to the residents of the city of McKinney and its surrounding cities, towns and rural communities that refer to McKinney as their "Hometown" too, for one reason or another. This small family farmer, a rural Collin County resident for over 30 years, realizes that we all promote ourselves whether in our own industries or areas of personal interest. In this instance I believe our efforts should be directed towards one anothers' benefit and well-being (social responsibility).
