Coffee Stout! CSA Wait List for 2019 Veggies, plus more Brew & Farm News!

Coffee Habit, our coffee stout, is BACK on tap starting this weekend!  Stop out for your pint, and don't forget to take a  growler fill home!  This dark stout is spiked with Mocha Coffee!  Flavors of chocolate & coffee - yes, it's delicious! We've started a "Wait List" for the 2019 CSA Vegetable Shares.  How does the wait list work? Our current farm members always get first dibs on a spot, then in November we take sign ups for the remaining open spots. If you're on the "Wait List", we'll contact you first & offer you an open spot in early November. To be added to the Wait List, email us at wishfulacres@gmail.com, or simply reply to this email. Please include your name, email address, and phone number, and if you're interested in a half share or a full share.  We're hoping this option will help people who are worried about not getting a spot in 2019 because it sells out so quickly!
