Greetings from Tanaka Farms. We would very much appreciate your opinions. We have 3 very brief questions at the end of this article. If you respond by September 7th, 2003, we would like to email you a gift discount coupon worth $5.00 off your next shopping visit at Tanaka Farms Produce Stand in Irvine.
Those of you who shop at Tanaka Farms have made the commitment to purchase delicious, healthy produce for you and your family. You also know that we have made many changes over the course of the many years in business. We invite you to give us your opinion and share in the planning as we evolve yet again.
This area's best farmland is being lost to commercial and residential development at an alarming rate. The high cost of farming, the retiring of older farmers and the reluctance of young people to enter farming is leading to the demise of the local farmer as we know it.
Community supported agriculture is a resourceful way to connect local farmers with consumers directly. Its roots date back 30 years to Japan. A group of Japanese women concerned about the use of pesticides, the increase in processed foods and the decrease in farm population, formed "teikei", the CSA equivalent. "Teikei" literally translated means "partnership" or "cooperation". Philosophical translation for teikei is "food with the farmer's face on it".
We would like to adopt a modified version of the community supported agriculture idea. Members/customers would agree to subscribe for a season to receive a weekly box of various vegetables and fruits grown locally. ( More )
Oh, hell yeah.
The email address is tanakafarms@sbcglobal.net. They have a website at http://www.tanakafarms.com - go for it.
