If the thought of shopping on Black Friday makes you squirm, but you still want to take a bite out of your holiday gift list, come out to the farm for DIY Holiday Gifts on Friday, November 29, 2013 from 1 to 4 PM. We are also offering the same class on Saturday, December 12th from 1 to 4 PM, for those folks who are traveling for the holiday weekend (or still digesting). Check out www.learngrowconnect.org/events We’ll have natural materials on hand (many from the farm!) for shaping your own goat milk soap bars, hand-crafting lip balm, herbal bath salts, and calendula salve. The cost for each program is $80 per person – which gives you a fun farm experience, 6 hand-made gifts to take home, and the know-how to make more!Thank you for supporting local foods this year!
A Review of Reviews
(Stretching the title a bit to call the following a Review of Reviews, but it was too catchy not to use.)
Care to Write a Review for Us?
We have a lot of great reviews on Facebook, but not a lot of current reviews. Reviews get the word out about our farm from the people who have the most experience with our CSA: you, the shareholder. If you’re inspired, please post a review of your Angelic Organics experience in the Review section at www.facebook.com/AngelicOrganics. If you’re on a roll, post to Yelp, too.

Inspiring Recent Angelic Organics CSA Reviews
***** Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) doesn’t get any better than Angelic Organics. We’ve been shareholders for 10 Years. Our quality of life has improved 10-fold because of this nutritional service. It was a lot of fuss at first, but then as I learned how to identify (ha!), store, prep and use the vegetables it became second nature. The cookbook helped a lot and now there’s the Local Thyme service that helps me cook “out of the box.” We split a share with another family and it comes out to about $14 a week for a 20-week share.
Thank you Farmer John and the crew for all you do.

Speaking of Reviews
Review For “GMO OMG” from Variety
Helmer Jeremy Seifert wonders what he can safely feed his family in activist docu “GMO OMG,” an Everyman companion to Kristin Canty’s “Farmageddon” that combines the folksy charm of Taggart Siegel’s “The Real Dirt on Farmer John” and the frightening facts of Robert Kenner’s “Food, Inc.“Note from Farmer John: Director of “Food, Inc.” Robert Kenner and I were friends in the late 60′s. I just received this note from him: “how cool is this to be with farmer john in the same sentence.”

While on the Review Trail
One of my all time favorite films is “The Grapes of Wrath.” I was just notified of a list of the 6 best films about farmers . “The Real Dirt on Farmer John” is on the list along with “Grapes of Wrath.” I am so honored that our film appears with “The Grapes of Wrath,” amongst some other legendary films:
Field of Dreams (1989)
Grapes of Wrath (1940)
Babe (1995)
The Real Dirt on Farmer John (2005)
Charlotte’s Web (1973)
Places in the Heart (1984)
Many shareholders have revealed to me that they have never watched “The Real Dirt on Farmer John,” a feature documentary film that chronicles 50 years of my farm and my life. Since CSA is about building connection between the farm and the people who eat from the farm, I’d love for those who haven’t watched our film to check out “The Real Dirt.” It’s available on Netflix and Amazon. Post about it at www.facebook.com/angelicorganics. Maybe check out the other films on the above list, too. Farms and farmers are in many ways their own culture, their own world. Good to know about them, especially if you eat.
