NEW MEMBER INTRODUCTION



Hello,

My name is Virginia Petrie.  I live with my husband 5 1/2 miles NE of
Duvall, Washington on 5.6 acres.  I have been gardening 5
years using organic methods.  We have approx. 1 1/2 acres in gardens, both
perennial and vegetable.  We plan to enlarge the vegetable garden and
include an area dedicated to herbs.  We have a small apple orchard too.
The rest of the property currently provides pasture for our two horses.
We belong to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW)
Backyard Wildlife Sanctuary Program and have concentrated on adding and
maintaining plants that provide food and shelter for wildlife.  We also
participate in the WDFW Winter Backyard Bird Survey and provide food and
water for birds year-round.  We are very interested in participating in
the CSA program but are just beginning to gather information and guidance
for our endeavor.  We hope to have our gardens certified organic and
provide produce to our community and local restaurant(s).  I believe CSA-L
will provide some of the information we are looking for.  Thank you.
