Penny- Your Squeezepenny Farmer
You need Java to see this applet.

Our heartfelt "Thanks" go out not only to
our subscribing Squeezepenny CSA members
and their families for a fantastic first year
and a half together but to all of our SQP
CSA's Co-Producers and their families as well.



Although our CSA simply attends as any other
guest and not as a local vendor, we encourage
you all to seek out and stop by ANY Farmers
Market to show your support for ALL of our
area's local farmers/ranchers/producers

    While growing up my Grandfather, Papa, always told me that I
    could 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 babysitting
    my granddaughter. I have always told 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 in West
    McKinney she simply and very seriously looked at me and
    asked, "Grandma Penny, where is the rest of the grass for me
    to play on?" 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 now.  Sorry
    baby, this is just about all they saved from what was once
    another family's 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!
    It's called "Sustainable Development"!

    Squeezepenny Sustainable Farm (SSF)
    is more than PROUD to present and host:
    Collin County Economic Opportunities (CCEO)
    2009/2010/2011 a rural, urban and new urban,
    carbon footprint reducing proposed local agricultural
    and economic plan.  Currently proposed to the
    estimated approx. 791,633 residents of Collin
    County, Texas. With a specific challenge to the
    approx. 131,117 city residents of McKinney, TX and
    our 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).

    Squeezepenny Community Supported Agriculture
    (CSA) Program has an agrarian approach to fair
    valued fresh and healthy food for our rural, urban
    and new urban neighbors.

    McKinney's Squeezepenny CSA bi-weekly plans

    Texas Agricultural products such as: vegetables,

    farm fresh eggs and etc...
    Hoping to sprout new ones along the way!
    Do you grow or know someone who does?

    *Please help us to establish a new and convenient,
    member assisted, Farm-to-Neighborhood delivery
    system in Allen, North and South Frisco, Garland,
    East and West McKinney, Murphy, Downtown

*New drop sites to be determined.
