Online User Support: Requesting Buyer Numbers from the CSA Office
For those Online Users that have held their registration papers, you may have to periodically ask us to provide you with the buyer numbers in order to transfer the animal(s). Especially since a large number of buyers are non-members (Commercial producers).
It is important to submit the form completely as missing information can delay us from sending you a reply. When completing the Name entry-field, please include the First and Last name (or Farm Name - if applicable). *** Please do not indicate General Delivery for the address as a complete mailing address is required.
Note: When requesting buyer numbers only one request per individual buyer is necessary. The CSA Registry staff address your requests as they arrive in the [email protected] inbox. Therefore, if your requests are sent after 4:00pm (MDT - Mountain Daylight Time), you will receive an email reply the following day.
