2013 Winter Investment Membership Offer
Each season we offer a special incentive for New and Renewing Investment Memberships and it's that time again! Click here for details about our Investment Membership program and how it works.  | |
Some of the items that will be included in the Investment Member Gift Basket
|
In the spirit of the season we have decided to offer our Investment Members a beautiful Moore Farms Gift Basket full of our own Farmhouse Preserves and complimentary goodies. Many of these items we cannot sell on the Online Market but we can give them away as "thank you" gifts! We are proud to include our own Apple Muscadine Butter, Muscadine Preserves, Piquant Vinegar (flavorful, not hot), Purple Basil Vinegar and a bottle of our 2013 Moore Farms Hot Sauce. We'll add a pair of Aunt Virginia's Potholders, a bar of Handmade Soap, and Dried Bouquet Garni Herbs all wrapped up in a Gift Basket! We'll have three sizes of Baskets depending on the Investment level: small, medium and large. All are sure to please whomever enjoys them!
~OR~
You can choose a $50 Gift Certificate to give to someone you like (these Gift Certificates cannot be applied to your own account). That's a great option for Holiday stocking stuffers, teacher gifts, donations for fundraising events, silent auctions, etc.
The 2013 Winter Investment Membership Offer will run from November 27th through December 31st. Thank you so much for considering the benefits of becoming an Investment Member of our Online Market!

Projects Investment Members Have Facilitated
We have been able to get some big improvements done here on the Farm and with our Online Market because of the "internal capital" Members have provided!
 | |
Our cute Corncrib Cabin is complete now and makes a snug little hideaway for interns and guests!
|
- Renovation of the Farmhouse Kitchen for Cooking and Canning Classes
- Renovation of the Farmhouse Bathroom
- Renovation of a Guest Suite in the Farmhouse for Farm Interns
- Renovation of the Corncrib Cabin for Farm Interns (and Farm Stay Guests!)
Ongoing Projects include:
- Barn Renovation for Farm Dinner and Cooking Class space
- Packing Shed Addition - final phase of construction will add more space, a produce washing station and (hopefully!) a bathroom for workers
- Packing Shed Roof Addition - to help shed heavy rains away from the building and into the road drainage ditch
- Continued work on our new website!

Ten Great Reasons to Consider an Investment Membership
|
Our average Member spends $1250 per year on our Online Market. Why not maximize your spending dollars and take advantage of these great features of our Investment Membership program:
1. No Need To Enter Your Credit Card
Your order will be deducted from your account balance up to your weekly spending amount ($50 for Investment Members, $100 for Supporting and Sustaining Level Members and $150 for Foundation Members)
2. Dividends of 3% - 7%
InvestmentMemberships ($500 level) get 3% dividend; Supporting Investors ($1000) get 5% dividend; Sustaining Members ($2500) get a sweet 6% return and Foundation Members ($5000) see a whopping 7% dividend. Dividends are added to your spending balance.
3. Half Off Moore Farms Events
Come on out to the Farm for Farm Days, Special Dinners or even book a Private Farm Day and get 2-for-1 prices!
4. Bonus Goodie Bag
Every Investment Member gets a cute little Goodie Bag in their order with a few extra items we have that week.
5. Order Priority
It's true, if we're short on an Item we'll be sure our Investment Members get it first! : )
6. Get Miles/Points on Your Credit Card This has been cited several times by folks when they Invest with us, you get our dividend plus whatever offer your credit card gives!
7. Quarterly Report
We email you your order summary and balance so you don't have to keep track (unless you want to!)
8. Support Your Local Food System
Stepping up to Investment Level Membership helps us to be a self-supporting food system so we don't have to go to banks or other lenders for capital.
9. Secure Your Pickup Location
Yep, that's right, more than once we decided to keep a less than stellar Pickup Location because we had an Investment Member who wanted to continue getting their orders delivered there. Usually we need to maintain at least 10 orders per week for a site but we will keep one that isn't making those numbers because of the Investor!
10. Ensure Continued Online Market Success
Your support makes us better. We can continue to attract young farm interns, offer a terrific opportunity for new grower sales and ongoing development of our Farm as a destination for Members who want to escape from the city!
