OK, so this is the last official week of shares. For full share holders, this is it. Also, those of you half-share holders who would normally be due a share this week, this is your last week. Those half-share holders who picked up last week, that was your last week (I think there may have been some confusion about that, but you are officially done, unless we are able to pack an extra next week). Remember, for those of you with Thursday pick up in Elgin, share pick up will be from 4-7PM at the Far West Market. For those of you with Saturday pick up in Huntley, share pick up will be from 9-11AM in the square in Huntley.

Onto fall/winter shares. These will start the first week of November. This is a pay-as-you-go system – it’s a much more casual share program than the 18 week summer shares. The shares are $25 a week and you pay when you pick up.

We had our final market in Rockford last Friday. We will be at various winter markets throughout the season (we’ll keep you posted) and you can come see us at the Elgin Food Day Market next Thursday, October 24th from 11-2 at Sherman Hospital. Remember to keep reading the newsletter and our updates to find out where and when you can visit us!

Also - sign up for next year’s shares! The form is up! This year’s prices are only good until Thanksgiving, so sign up. Just do it. Tell your friends and family. It’s good for you. Your doctor will be proud. Your body needs us. Let Trogg’s Hollow take care of you.

Finally, thank you to everyone. Thanks for all of your support over the last season and we appreciate everything. It’s been great seeing old friends and making so many new ones. It’s been fun sharing our farm with you. Thanks for being part of our adventure.
