Corrections

In the off-with-my-head department, there are some necessary corrections to "Second Helpings" listings on Farm Stands [Oct. 12] and on Community Supported Agriculture farms [Oct. 19]. It seems that both weeks, I managed to put the wrong e-mail address in the listing for Tecolote Farm. When you e-mail the farm to get on the waiting list for their spring subscription shares, please do so at [email protected]. I also neglected to mention that Tecolote Farm is run by both Dave Pitre and Katie Kraemer. Their farmstand season runs from March through August. I regret the errors.
