“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if you could do a survey of CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) programs in the area. We got a share this year for the first time from a guy out in West Virginia and have been super disappointed. The program was expensive and all we get each week is a sack of stevia, wilted/rotting lettuce, and some extra dirty potatoes. To boot, he follows up each delivery with emails whining about how hard it is for him to bring us the shares we’re paying for, and telling everyone that we should drive to his farm on the weekends to weed his (unproductive?) garden.
We’re going to ditch this guy next year, but we like the concept. We’ve heard that there are great CSAs out there, and wanted to know which ones your readers think have worked out well.”
Ed. Note: We spoke a bit about CSAs back in May ’10 here.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
