THE FARM ANNOUNCES CSA PROGRAM FOR 2013

Michael Berecz, of The Farm, a Woodbury-based
agricultural company, has announced that shares in their 2013 CSA
(Community-Supported Agriculture) Program are currently available. Both
full-shares, sufficient for a family of 4 non-vegetarians, or 2 vegetarians,
and half-shares, sufficient for 2 non-vegetarians, are available.

Primarily a supplier to restaurants, wholesalers
and grocery stores, Berecz is now focusing on farm-to-customer initiatives.
"This is the next logical step for us to take to continue to bring fresh,
locally grown seasonal product to the community," says Mr. Berecz.  One of the driving forces behind the Woodbury
Farmer's Market, The Farm has been also offering their products through farm
stands at the Woodbury Flea Market, the Elephant's Trunk flea market, and the
Southbury Farmer's Market.

Community Supported Agriculture is a
unique relationship of mutual support and commitment between a farm and
community members for an entire growing season. CSA members purchase a share
for the growing season before the harvest begins. The price of the share
enables the farm to cover yearly costs, almost all of which are incurred before
the crops are ready for harvest. This entitles the member to a share of the
harvest throughout the season, grown by a farm they know and trust.

The Farm's CSA is a 20-week
subscription running, this year, from June 17th to October 28th.  As the growing season progresses so the type
of product included in each share will change. Earlier weeks will contain more
leafy green items. Mid-season shares will contain items that require longer
days to ripen, like tomatoes, and eggplants. The late-season share will have
more items of a long storage period: Garlic, onions, and winter squashes.  From time to time, the shares may include
fresh eggs, maple syrup, raw filtered honey, or herbs.

The Subscriber has the choice of a
Tuesday or a Thursday pickup of their shares. The pickup point will be at
Woodbury Floral Designs, located at 15 Hollow Road in Woodbury, owned and operated
by Berecz's wife, Amanda. "If you cook more during the week, a Tuesday
pickup is better," says Berecz. 
"If you have a lot of cook-outs or tend to do most of your cooking
over the weekend, Thursday is the better day to pick up your shares. In either
case," he added, "the product is picked fresh for that day."

A CSA is not without risk, however.
"We have our crops planned for the season, but Mother Nature may not
cooperate. If there is a crop failure due to circumstances out of our control,
we will not have certain items," explained Berecz. "Such is the life
of farming."

The Farm, located on 140 acres in
Woodbury, CT, is family-operated. "This is one of the ways that
community members can actively participate in regional agriculture," says
Berecz. "It takes a little adjustment to eating seasonal, locally-grown
produce. Not everything is available year-round so you need to change your menu
to utilize what's just coming out of the ground."

The price for shares are $495 for a
full-share, $265 for a half-share. Participation is limited and shares are
available on a "first come, first served" basis.  A complete list of the anticipated produce to
be grown this year, as well as more information about CSAs, recipes utilizing
products from the CSA, and an online subscription order form, are available at
