This summer I started selling some CSA shares to cover some costs of my conservation and breeding projects. I'm thinking about describing what I've accomplished this year regarding saved or introduced local varieties, breeding projects, tested varieties and whatever.
Any experience with something like this? Do people usually care or appreciate?

On this forum we love hearing about your seed preservation and breeding projects, especially if photos are included.
My local CSA people don't much care about my breeding projects, but some of the neighbors like to know what's going on, and some of the people at the pharmer's market are excited about my breeding projects.

I predict most CSA shareholders can handle one paragraph of more technical talk.

I do a blog every week. Sometimes folks read it and sometimes they don't. I tell them what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, etc.
I post what veges they are getting this week, some recipes and what's happening at the farm. My blog is long during the winter and very short in the summer.

Yeah, but when I read Ferdzy's I get hungry! I also get the urge to go back to Banff and Jasper....Sault St. Marie and other Canadian places like Medicine Hat.
I have a standing invitation to go Maple Sugaring in Quebec, but have a hard time even leaving the farm for a weekend. Sigh.

Oh thanks for the kind comments everyone! You make my day.
Recipes are for stealing! Although I admit, if you make something I would love to hear about it - it really helps me to know what kind of things people are interested in, and how clear my instructions are, and if it actually works. I always try to improve! And some day I might get my arse in gear and do a cookbook, and this information would be even more helpful...
(Didin't know Holly had a blog - bookmarking to read in the morning.)

Oh Ferdzy, me too!
Love love love all your corn recipes. Now if only I could get you to fool around with tomatillos.

Just picked a basket of tomatillos this morning! But they are probably mostly going into canned salsa. I do have a couple of tomatillo soup ideas in the back of my head...
