This coming Saturday, January 31st. is the last day to take advantage of the full 10% early signup discount.
The CSA will also then be open to anyone wishing to join. The limited number of memberships will no longer be held exclusively for 2014 members and those on last year's waiting list. A 10% deposit will be required in order to ensure a 2015 membership.
.
The 2015 USDA Certified Organic shares will be distributed in returnable, half bushel, food grade, sanitized bins. This volume is roughly equal to a full paper grocery bag. Distributions will be on Saturdays.
We offer two options: A full season membership will consist of twenty weekly distributions beginning on Saturday, June 13th. with the final distribution on Saturday, October 24th.
A core membership will consist of ten weekly distributions beginning on Saturday, July 11th, with the final distribution on Saturday, September 12th.
The cost of the full season membership is $600.00
The cost of the core season membership is $300.00
The number of memberships is limited. Beginning on January 1st. 2015 we will begin accepting a 10% deposit ensuring a space is reserved for your choice of membership options. Past members, and everyone on our waiting list, will be guaranteed a 2015 membership as long as a deposit or full payment is made through the month of January. After January we will open any remaining memberships to the public.
Any member wishing to pay in full during the month of January will receive a 10% discount. Full payment made in February will be discounted 5%. In keeping with the original concept of CSA's, this provides meaningful savings to members while aiding the farm with early expenses for organic seed, propagation. and planting.
Full payment for the full season share will be due on or before May 1st.
Full payment for the core season share will be due on or before June 1st.
We anticipate using the same drop sites as last season. Competitive Gear Bicycle Shop in Millcreek, and the Whole Foods Co-Op in Erie. We are looking into the possibility of adding others in the east and south county.
We are continuing our home delivery option. Final details for the delivery program, and CSA sign up forms will be made available in next week's newsletter. We are very much looking forward to serving our 2015 CSA members. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
