 Oyster Mushrooms
Our first attempt at growing Oyster Mushrooms is progressing nicely. The Grey Oysters pictured above have caps the size of quarters and we should be able to harvest the first ones in a few days. The Blue Oyster Strain that were propagated a couple of weeks after the greys show aggressive mycillium expansion. If all continues to go well we should have a limited amount available for sale at the farm store in another week, or two. |
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
Full season membership with home delivery is $750.00
The cost of the core season membership is $350.00
Core season membership with home delivery is $435.00
The number of memberships is limited. We are now accepting a 10% deposit ensuring a share is reserved for your choice of membership options.
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.
Home delivery is available in the city of Erie and the following townships; Fairview, Franklin, Girard, Greene, Harborcreek, McKean, Millcreek, Summit, Washington, and Waterford
Sign up forms are available at the farm, or you can sign up electronically on the CSA page at www.hunterfarmsorganic.com 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.
