2016 CSA
The 2016 USDA Certified Organic weekly shares will be approximately one half bushel in size. This volume is roughly equal to a full paper grocery bag. Distributions will be on Saturdays.
We offer two options:
FULL season memberships will consist of eighteen weekly distributions beginning on Saturday, June 18th. with the final distribution on Saturday, October 15th.
CORE season memberships will consist of ten weekly distributions beginning on Saturday, July 16th, with the final distribution on Saturday, September 17th.
The cost of the full season membership is $600.00
The cost of the core season membership is $350.00
The number of memberships is limited. We are now 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 2016 membership as long as a deposit, or full payment is made between now, and the end of January. After January we will open any remaining memberships to the public.
Any member wishing to pay in full during the months of December (several people have inquired about memberships as Christmas gifts) and 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 advance orders of organic seed and fertilizer, 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 future newsletters. For now, sign up forms are available at the farm, or will be mailed upon request. Past members with no change in contact information can simply let us know you wish to sign up. We can complete the form for you using the information in our records.
We are very much looking forward to serving our 2016 CSA members! Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
