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

    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 encourage you all to stop by
    ANY Farmers Market and seek out
    local producers of ANY kind.

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.

Sweet Lemon Mint

    While growing up my Grandfather 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 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).

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

    McKinney's Squeezepenny CSA 12-week plans offer
    year round support of the areas Local Farmers,
    Ranchers and Producers. Reaching out to work with
    our current suppliers of Fresh, Healthy, Locally
    Grown, Raised and/or Produced Texas Agricultural
    products such as: vegetables, herbs, fruits, meats,
    dairy, poultry, farm fresh eggs and etc...

     Allen, Frisco, McKinney and Plano, TX are the
     current distribution sites. Currently meeting with
    our subscribing Squeezepenny CSA Charter
    Members on Tuesdays, Thursdays, or Saturdays.

       **Additional distribution sites to be determined.**
