Community Supported Agriculture - Many farms offer produce subscriptions, where buyers receive a weekly or monthly basket of produce, flowers, fruits, eggs, milk, meats, or any sort of different farm products. A CSA, (for Community Supported Agriculture) is a way for the food buying public to create a relationship with a farm and to receive a weekly basket of produce. By making a financial commitment to a farm, people become "members" (or "shareholders," or "subscribers") of the CSA. A CSA season typically runs from late spring through early fall. The number of CSAs in the United States was estimated at 50 in 1990, and has since grown to over 2200. Please Click here to see information about a participating farmer in our Lake Community.

The Results of the Dredging Survey - The results of the dredging survey have been tabulated with a 79% support for the dredging project. The response represented 265 lots, and the Board wants to thank everyone who returned their survey. With this overwhelming support level the Board feels it can now expend some additional funds to move the process forward to a point where we can provide the detail required to ask for funding approval. The steps required to implement dredging will be presented at the Spring General Membership meeting.
